During this webinar, a former Director of Admissions from Stanford University will teach families to research and identify colleges and create a balanced list of good fit schools. Parents and students are invited to attend and learn how to "read between the headlines" to effectively evaluate potential schools based on student's interests and priorities.

Naviance online college and career tracking program

SBHS Introduces Naviance - an online College and Career Research, Planning and Tracking program

Naviance is an interactive website that students, parents, guardians and counselors can use for college and career research and planning.



Students, parents and guardians can also communicate with their guidance counselors regarding college and career planning. Additionally, college information and post high school plans can be monitored, scholarship information can be accessed, and a calendar of colleges visiting the High School can be seen. Students can also view the status of their college transcript requests.



The current features of Naviance are of assistance primarily to members of the Junior and Senior Class. However, there are several features of the program that can assist Freshmen and Sophomores, including a personality self discovery assessment, tools to find and research careers of interest, and the opportunity to track extra-curricular activities for their resume.



Guidance has provided each student with a Registration Code which is used one time to set up your password protected Naviance account. Students and parents can link to Naviance directly from the Guidance website.
