The CCRC is the Curtis High School's College & Career Readiness Center. The CCRC is designed to assist students in helping them through the college selection and career preparation process. The CCRC is equipped with a full computer lab available to students during lunch and after school. In addition, there are many "grab and go" handouts, as well as, this comprehensive website to support students planning for "Life after High School".
The CCRC is located in Room 103 at Curtis High School. Hours of operation (unless otherwise noted onsite):
Monday – Thursday 7:15am - 3:00pm
Friday 7:15am - 2:30pm
We encourage students and parents to review the information in this website. The CCRC website is divided into five sections: Career Planning, College Planning, High School & Beyond Program, Volunteer Service, and Upcoming Events. Please look at each section and check back often, as we plan to continually update this information.
