College/Career Planning
Seton Catholic Preparatory provides a comprehensive, ongoing college planning service that includes:
- Testing
- Classroom presentations
- Student/Counselor meetings
- Student/Counselor/Parent meeting
- College visits - admission counselors on Seton’s campus
Our Department sends out a lot of information throughout the year in the weekly student and parent Friday e-news to help our students prepare for their college applications: local college fairs, scholarships, educational opportunities, and testing information.
College Visits and Fairs are a great way for students of all ages to expand their list of college possibilities and learn about the college application process. Depending on the size of a fair, there could be more than 100 college admission representatives available. Click here for a current list of college visits and fairs.
