What's in it for me?
Valuable Information that’s what!!
One of our goals at Basic High School is to provide all students the tools and resources necessary to acquire the personal and professional skills necessary to identify, locate, acquire and maintain employment and/or to enroll in a post secondary educational program.
The College & Career Center is here to offer assistance, coordinate, and guide students (and parents) through the process!
