Attention all Seniors! If you have a college application due on DECEMBER 1st then you must request your transcript no later than 11/17 to ensure your counselor has enough time to get your documents sent to your school(s) by your deadline.

During Seminar on October 24, 9th - 11th grade students were introduced to the Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offered throughout DCSD. CTE classes are hands-on and allow students to practice skills they can use in the workplace. Many CTE programs offer college credits or certificates, and classes can be taken right here at Rock Canyon, at other district high schools, or at the new Legacy Campus. To see the information shared with your child, check out the slideshow linked here. Please note that the QR code in the presentation no longer works. If your child is interested in pursuing one of these programs next year, please encourage them to reach out to their RCHS school counselor.

Registration Season is right around the corner! Students can expect to engage in Seminar lessons in December and early January to help them count credits and plan out the courses they would like to take next year. Counselors will be giving presentations to all students in their English classes and available at both lunches the entire week of January 29th to answer registration questions.

With the holiday season approaching, we often see mental health needs increasing. Denver Counseling Center is offering free services to students, families, and staff at K-12 schools and colleges in Colorado now through December. If you or anyone you know would benefit from our services- send them our information and we would love to find time to connect with them! All they need to do is mention that they attend your school and they will receive free services!
