Joliet Catholic Academy Counseling Department

We hosted a 𝓒𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓬 𝓒𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓰𝓮 𝓕𝓪𝓲𝓻 for our Sophomore and Junior classes which gave them the chance to meet with representatives from more than 50 colleges from across the country. This was a great opportunity for our JCA students to learn about different colleges, their admission process, the programs they offer, and to find out which colleges might be a good fit for their educational and career goals.

🌟 Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming several of our recent graduates back to campus to participate in an Alumni Panel with our junior and senior students. Our alumni shared their experiences and provided valuable guidance on transitioning to their college and career, including strategies for time management, effective study habits, maintaining strong academic performance, and utilizing campus resources. They also offered advice on how our current students can finish their high school years strong while preparing for what’s next.

In addition, they took time to answer questions and share meaningful insights from their own journeys.

Thank you to Nick, Nora, Miller and Sallee for returning today to support and inspire our students.
