Counseling


Location Change: The Career Center is now located in the Library!

Attention 9th, 10th and 11th Graders! If you are interested in a career in law, you don't want to miss this opportunity!!! Applications are now being accepted for the 2013 Oliver Hill/Samuel Tucker Pre-Law Institute, sponsored by the Millennium Diversity Initiative and the Virginia State Bar. For one week, students are introduced to the legal profession by living on a college campus and attending a number of mock classes and seminars on career opportunities in the law, test taking strategies, and the college admissions process. Students will meet area lawyers and judges and will have an opportunity to participate in their own mock trial. There is no cost to attend the Institute. For more information or to get an application, visit us online at http://www.vsb.org/site/conferences/ylc/oliver-hill-samuel-tucker-prelaw-institute
