Career & Military Planning

Military Some students choose to serve in the military post-graduation. If this interests you, the Guidance Department strongly suggests students meet with recruiters as soon as possible to discuss the available options. Recruiters from different branches come during lunches throughout the school year, but students can come to Guidance to get direct contact information anytime.

For more information on enlisting in the military, please visit these links: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy.
