COLLEGE
OPTIONS
“As a counselor, I refer families to College OPTIONS time and time again ... Students can drop in or make appointments; someone always answers the phone, and questions or issues are resolved either in-person or by email.”
Cindy Harris, Enterprise High School Counselor
College Options exists to help students prepare for successful post high school careers. The College Options team provides free college and career advice for all Northern California students and their families at its resource center in downtown Redding.
