Jeanne Cochran, High School Counselor
Tri-City School, Vista, CA
“I have gained invaluable experience and contacts from attending the NACCAP conferences, and was awarded the ACSI Exemplary Blue Ribbon School Award for our Senior Exhibition Program.
One of my first goals as the Dean of Women and College Career Counselor at Tri-City Christian School in Vista, California, was to become a member of NACCAP. I made contact with college representatives through NACCAP, who listened and gave guidance to our seniors as they presented their future college or university plans at our Senior Exhibition.
With their help, we established a successful comprehensive college program in one year. We’ve hosted NACCAP College Fairs at Tri-City now for several years, and have been blessed with the highest attendance nationally.
I have also piloted College and Career Seminars at the annual ACSI Conventions. My passion is to acquaint students beginning in the ninth grade with “college awareness” to prepare them to make intelligent choices regarding higher education.
I am a strong proponent of Christian higher education, and it has been rewarding to learn that 40% of our graduating seniors at Tri-City have chosen to attend Christian colleges and universities. Thanks to Christian higher education and NACCAP, we have successfully mentored other college and career counselors in implementing these programs at their schools.”
