College & Career Exploration
Walsh Jesuit High School College & Career Counseling is a four-year comprehensive program to support students as they navigate and discern their post-secondary plans. College & Career Counseling plans and promotes college exploration and career and employment-related programs, beginning with self-discovery tools during freshman year.
Starting Junior year, Walsh Jesuit High School College & Career Counselors work individually with students and their families through the college search process. College & Career Counselors work closely with School Counselors to provide information and support to students and their families throughout their four years at Walsh Jesuit. Our programming also involves parent education. Each step of our programming is guided by Jesuit ideals, focusing on the whole person.
