COLLEGE AND CAREER CENTER
The Bella Vista College and Career Center (the CCC) is a valuable center for planning life after high school. The CCC is staffed by BV parent volunteers who work with counselors, teachers and staff to provide information and other resources to all students – those who plan to attend a college, those who plan to enter a vocational or occupational training program, and those who just aren’t sure.
WHERE: The CCC is located inside the Bella Vista Library, behind the check-out counter.
WHEN: The CCC is open during library hours mid-September through mid-May. For assistance from trained volunteers, stop by during lunch hours as well as before Open House and Back to School Night. We encourage all parents and students to stop by for a visit.
CONTACT: Please stop by during lunch, call (916)971-5083 or email the CCC Volunteers at bellavistaccc@aol.com.
