The ACHS College Placement Department is an integral part of the total school program. Offices are located across from the main office on the first floor. Counselors aid the students in the decisions to be made and the responsibilities to be met during and after high school.
Counselors schedule interviews with students throughout the year, but students are also encouraged to request an interview when it would be helpful.
Services offered by the ACHS College Placement Department include the following:
