Applying for college is a huge task, often requiring support for the high school senior. Each of the three public high schools in Lamorinda have an on site College Counselor. The person is there to guide seniors through the college application process and provides reminders about deadlines as well as information about colleges. These counselors arrange visits from colleges to each of the high school campuses and helps students through the process, from beginning to end. The college counselors can be instrumental in helping with deadlines, graduation requirements and creating a list of schools that are potentially a reach, match or safety. College counselors can help with essays and obtaining letters of rec. They are also there to assist with submitting transcripts, test scores and financial aid applications. The counselors also help with parent education around the topic of college, testing, and working as a team to manage the senior’s stress and anxiety level. Lamorinda’s public school college counselors are a wealth of information and almost every high school senior passes through the college counseling office at some point. Local private high schools also have college counselors on site providing the same services.

Each of the three cities within Lamorinda has an education foundation to bridge the gap between state funding and the district budget needed to run the excellent programs within the Lamorinda schools. While public school is free for all, the excellent programs provided in Lamorinda depend on donations, sponsors, business partnerships and fundraising events to help support the elementary, middle and high schools of Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda. Millions of dollars are given each year through the three foundations to Lamorinda’s students.
