Welcome to Woodlake High School's Counseling Page!
Our mission is to provide parents, students, and the community with a wide range of resources and information in order to ensure that 100% of our students graduate from Woodlake High School ready for college or a career. Parents are always welcome to come in and see a counselor. It is recommended that you call the counseling office at (559) 564-3307 to schedule an appointment to ensure that there will be someone available to meet with you.
Below you will find several websites that will provide you with a variety of information on college and career readiness. You will also find the SAT & ACT test dates for the 2016-2017 school year. It is recommended that students take either test in the Spring of their junior year, and then again in the Fall of their senior year (no later than December) for college admissions. Students start applying to colleges in their senior year, however it is essential that students start researching colleges beginning their freshman year. Applications for UC/CSU's begin October 1 and close on November 30th of their senior year.
