Welcome back to the 2021-22 school year.  Central Cabarrus High Student Services is pleased to provide students access to NAVIANCE (Navigation and Guidance), a Web-based service designed to assist in the college and career planning process. In an effort to ensure equity and equality for all Viking students, Central Cabarrus will utilize Naviance as a comprehensive website that students & parents will use for college & career research, planning, and college applications. Naviance student accounts are linked with the counselors' offices and the data is used to track and analyze college and career plans of our students.

Your career development is a life long process that, whether you know it or not, actually started when you were born.  There are a number of factors that influence your career development, including your interests, abilities, values, personality, background and circumstances. 

The goal of Career & College Planning is to not only help you make decisions you need to make now, but to give you the knowledge and skills you need to make future career, college and life decisions.
