Lamar GO Center
The Lamar CAC Center is located in room 1112. Mr. Francois serves with the TCU College Advising Corps to assist with navigating the college process. If the student's focus is on attending community college or a university after high school, we help with:
- Getting familiar with post-secondary pathways
- FAFSA/TASFA application submission
- Career finder (through certificates or directly into the job market)
- College applications: to include meeting with prospective college admissions counselors, submitting proper documentation, or financial aid
- Resume building
- College essay brainstorming, editing, and submission
- Setting up meetings with all four military branches
How we see students:
- Calling students to the Go Center, speaking with them one-on-one or in small groups (usually takes around 5-10 minutes, longer if registering or completing applications)
- Preparing/delivering in-class presentations on the basics of what the LHS Go Center has to offer
- Go Center hours are as follows:
- Monday-Friday - during the entire school day
