Alta Vista High School and the Post Secondary Education Initiative (PSEI) Committee are dedicated to helping students continue their journey onto higher education and careers. The PSEI committee and the Student Services office provide students with information on colleges, trade schools and careers of their choice. This past school year we had the largest amount of students continuing their education and/or moving on to exciting careers. 83% of the graduating class were admitted and registered for the fall of 2010 at the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, Pima Community College, DeVry University, Apollo College, and Pima Medical Institute. Alta Vista and the PSEI Committee will be working diligently to have more students further their education and career choice in 2011. Below are some ways Alta Vista helps:
        • College advisement
        • College campus tours
        • Financial Aid assistance
        • Registration at respective colleges
        • Assistance with scholarships
        • Assistance with assessments (SAT/ACT/COMPASS)
        • College skills workshops
        • Career Assessments/Exploration

College Visits

Alta Vista High School believes exposure to the real deal impacts our students lives more than just information passed on. Campus visits are planned through out the year; during the first two blocks seniors are taken on state college and university group tours. Since AVHS began the campus tours, university & college admissions has increased by 83%. The class of 2010 had 82 seniors accepted and projected to begin classes in the fall.

September has been a busy month for college visits. On the September 10, seniors toured the University of Arizona, on September 15 Arizona State University and Universal Technical Institute, on September 24 Northern Arizona University and on September 27 Grand Canyon University. Other tours are scheduled for October and November to visit different trade schools in Tucson such as Carrington College, the Art Institute of Tucson, Pima Community College and Tucson College of Beauty.
