- My College Connection
My College Options is a FREE college planning service, offering assistance to students, parents, high schools, counselors, and teachers nationwide. It is designed to assist high school students in exploring a wide range of post-secondary opportunities, with special emphasis on the college search process.
Over the past several years, Rio Rancho High students have found
greater success when they ask adults to consult instead of mentor. The
term mentor implies a large and long time commitment. The term
consultant suggests that the assistance is required only when teams
solicit it. To busy professionals, a time commitment with
well-defined limits may be appealing and offer a welcome opportunity
for professional community service.
