THE CCC IS ...
- AN INFORMATION RESOURCE where you can find college guides and reference books, gap-year programs, information on college tours, audio-visual resources, scholarship offers, a computer-based college information system, and a comprehensive resource for summer programs.
- A LEARNING CENTER where groups of students meet with college representatives to discuss college options, where parents and students research colleges and investigate the many opportunities available, where trained volunteers are enthusiastic to assist in each phase of the process. This year, college representatives will still be meeting with students in-person and virtually during school hours.
- AN ATTENTIVE STAFF of trained volunteers who coordinate the activities of the Center. Scarsdale HS deans provide guidance and support for students and the volunteer staff.
- If you have additional questions (i.e., Scoir, Naviance, Scholarship database or SHS Alumni Contacts) or need assistance, please contact the CCC chairs at ccc.chairs@gmail.com.
AVAILABLE DIGITAL RESOURCES AND VIRTUAL SERVICES

- College Representative Virtual and In-Person Visits to SHS Campus Fall 2022: More than 200 college representatives will be visiting in-person and virtually at SHS this fall. The list will be maintained in the Scoir systems. SHS Seniors should be sure to RSVP to the college rep visits they plan to attend. These visits are for SENIOR STUDENTS ONLY; parents should not be attending or logging on.
