Welcome to King/Drew Magnet High School's College Office!

Higher Education: A Definite Goal

The College Office assists students with exploring their options for higher education and provides them with the tools and resources they need to successfully navigate the admissions and financial aid processes. The College Office also collaborates with representatives of colleges, universities, enrichment programs, and scholarship agencies to inform King/Drew students and parents about the amazing post-secondary options available.

 

Mrs. Lisa Golden, College Advisor, oversees the College Office and administers its educational and advisory program with the help of College Peer Counselors, a select group of King/Drew seniors that receive special training in the admissions and financial aid processes. Mrs. Golden is extremely excited to support and work with the King/Drew Family each and every year!

 

College Peer Counselors (CPC's) are seniors who receive special training in the College Admissions Process and are the heart of the college office. They assist their peers in completing college entrance and exam applications, writing personal statements, searching for scholarships, meeting pertinent deadlines, and selecting colleges that meet individual interests and needs. College Peer Counselors are instrumental in the successful 90% senior population that attends college. They organize the Parent College Information Workshops and the 40 college presentations that occur annually.

 

College Peer Counselors 2024-25:  Nasir Aliu, Madison Biddle, Cameron Campbell, Madissyn Christmas, Allison Farfan, Iyaremi Fernandez, Alan Garcia, Bianca Hernandez-Flores, Michaela Hooper, Orlando Johnson, Esmeralda Lara, Jasmine Mims, Angela Moreno-Pulido, Gabrielle Nosike, Promise Oniha, Sanai Pamilton, Arie Parker, Dylan Peterson, Katie Romo, Hannah Sutton, Vanessa Uvera, Brooklyn Walker
