College+Counseling

The Northeast and Northwest College Preparatory Schools' guidance counselors are working to create a pamphlet or flyer to share with the community which will outline the roles and responsibilities of counselors in College Board Schools. We would love to see what other schools have created with this focus. Please feel free to email your ideas to dmcozine@collegeboard.org. We will post our final product on the wiki to share with you. Thanks.
