Counseling Services

Beginning with the freshman year, our focus is on preparing students for college by assisting them in creating an electronic four-year course plan using the Naviance system.  Students will update their plan each year as they learn more about their strengths and interests through several personality and career inventories they take on Naviance.  Starting on our College and Career Exploration Day in the fall of freshman year, students will also begin to learn about college options through a variety of interactive activities and practice using the college search features on Naviance. 

At Marian, we also offer the services of a college counselor who works individually with students and parents in the college admission process.  The counselor also arranges networking and informational programs at Marian with top colleges and universities to provide our students with numerous opportunities to find their best-fit colleges.

 

Students are encouraged (and parents are welcome!) to visit the College and Career Resource Room located in the Marian Counseling Department.  Using technology and our collection of books and periodical resources our students are provided with information about colleges, college search resources, and scholarships, as well as career information and ACT/SAT preparation packets.

Marian is the site for an annual MACRAO-sponsored College Night when approximately 80 colleges are represented.  In addition, many colleges and universities schedule individual visits to Marian’s campus during the school year.
