Guidance Resources

The following resources are available to students:

• College Resource Room:

• Mini  College Fairs
  Two mini college fairs are held each fall for juniors and seniors. Forty college representatives attend each fair and are available to speak with students. In addition to these mini-college fairs, individual colleges often come to Xaverian to meet with interested students.

• Guidance Secretary’s Office
  The guidance secretary maintains the following lists on EdLine: scholarships, summer programs, and college acceptances.  Her office also contains registration materials for the SAT and ACT exams.
