SBVC Builds Bridges with Local High Schools

SBVC strengthened its relationships with local high schools at its annual High School Counselor Conference in March, where counselors from local high schools gathered to discuss pathways to higher education.
The conference featured interactive sessions, networking opportunities, and a keynote address from SBVC President Dr. Gil Contreras, who emphasized that counseling is more critical than ever in helping students navigate a rapidly changing world, and that SBVC serves as a reminder that PLACE and RACE still matter in shaping educational opportunities.
The event highlighted SBVC’s ongoing commitment to building seamless transitions from high school to college, ensuring local students receive the guidance and support they need to succeed.
