The goal of the Career Center is to provide Davis Senior High School students with resources and tools to help them plan their future after high school. Whether a student will attend a four-year college, community college, trade or technical school, enter the work world, or take time to travel or study abroad, we have helpful information. Students and parents are encouraged to browse this webpage for helpful links, and visit the office for up-to-date resources on scholarships, financial aid, jobs, volunteer and internship opportunities, college and career exploration, summer programs in the U.S. and abroad, testing materials and military options.
In addition, we host representatives from colleges and universities across the country to speak with interested students in the fall. We are also equipped with computers that enable students to apply for colleges, scholarships, and jobs, and to take advantage of the wealth of information available through the internet.
We hope to see you in the Career Center soon!
