Career/College

College Admission Representatives Visit Opportunities: Please let the counselors know if you would like to meet with any of the college admission representatives who visit Polson High School.  These visits are published on the School Counseling calendar and posted outside the Counseling Office.

Career Development:
Our career development curriculum focuses on helping students learn about themselves, learn about occupations, learn about college and postsecondary options, and learn about employment.  We use the Montana Career Information System and partner with teachers to implement career and college classroom guidance lessons.  Below are some helpful resources students can use in the career and college planning process.

Montana Career Information System (MCIS): All students have MCIS accounts that they can access through Powerschool or they can login here: https://portal.mtcis.intocareers.org/
