Planning for College

College Visits

Attention Students: Admissions representatives travel to visit Chaparral every year. Sign up to attend a college visit in the front office. The sign-up binder is located near the counselor appointment books in the front office. If the visit is during class time, the student will receive a pass from Ms. Vaught in the office. Students, stop by during lunch or passing period to see which schools are visiting us! Check the College and Career Calendar for updates as well.
