Mission Statement: The McLean High School College/Career Center is a vibrant resource for students, faculty and staff, parents and the community. The Center provides information associated with post secondary planning: two and four year colleges, vocational and technical schools, apprenticeship programs, civilian and military careers, scholarships and financial aid, job and summer opportunities. All students, regardless of their background, academic achievement, or economic situation, are given the opportunity to develop plans for the future that take into account their interests and abilities, current trends in education, the economy and the job market.
