Career Information

 
 
 
 
In partnership with the CCGI (California College Guidance Initiative), GUHSD utilizes CaliforniaColleges.edu, which provides families and students with a comprehensive platform for college, career, and financial aid planning. Students can take assessments to explore potential career paths, develop plans to achieve their goals and manage college and financial aid applications. CaliforniaColleges.edu empowers students to discover their passions, set clear goals, and take steps toward a successful future.  The website can be accessed HERE. Counselors have assisted GHS students in activating their accounts so they can easily sign in from their chromebook by clicking the Google sign in button, which is the smaller white box that shows their school email address and the Google logo (see below).
