Louisville employs a full-time college counselor who works closely with the students beginning the second semester of junior year to prepare them for the application process.
All students have the opportunity to attend a College Workshop during which they receive directions regarding the completion of their profiles and resumes, how and when to apply, how to obtain teacher recommendations, financial aid, etc. They may also attend application workshops to complete the UC and CSU applications and an essay-writing workshop. Louisville also holds an annual College Night with Crespi Carmelite High School, a Financial Aid Night and participates in the annual San Fernando Valley College Case Studies program. Additionally, college topics are discussed at grade-level parent meetings beginning in the sophomore year.
The college counselor is available for conferences or questions and can be reached at the following extension:
