College Counseling

Graduation 2025 captoss

We journey alongside our students to help them discover the right fit for their higher education.

The high school years are a time of rapid development and personal discovery. St. David’s affords students opportunities to grow through academics, athletics, performing arts, service, leadership, and spiritual life. Our college counseling staff delights in fostering this growth and counseling each student to be their best.

The role of college counseling is to help students translate their unique abilities and interests into post-secondary education goals, and ultimately, satisfying careers. It is our intent to provide students with the tools, resources, and individual support necessary to discover the colleges that best fit their skills and aspirations. To that end, we help students understand the admission process, consider upper school curriculum options, research colleges, narrow their choices, and apply to a variety of suitable schools, all the while keeping in mind that the Lord has a plan for each of them. We strive to make the process manageable, personal, and enjoyable for each family.

The end goal of college counseling is not admission to one 'perfect' college. There is no such place. Our aim is to know our students well, so that as they begin to make decisions about their future we are able to guide them toward colleges where they can thrive. Danna markoff,
Director of college counseling
