Looking Ahead to College

College Counseling and Support

The JHSC Student-Athlete Support Program has the ability to work closely with the Program Directors and coaches to offer guidance for student-athletes as they make their post-high school plans. In the Summer and Fall of the senior year, we meet with student-athletes to learn about their goals and explore colleges and sports programs that fit their athletic and academic goals, as well as campus life and geographical preferences.

USCSA

As part of the USCSA National Championships, hosted by JHSC and Snow King Mountain Resort in March 2019, USCSA Executive Director Alec Tandara-Kuhns and a panel of member coaches and athletes hosted an information night for interested JHSC families and athletes. The overarching theme of the evening was that within the organization's 170+ member schools, there is a place for any athlete who wants to compete in snow sports in college. From funded, coached, varsity teams to student-led Clubs, and with teams that train 4-5 days/week and those that exclusively attend weekend competitions, the USCSA's 8-week season includes participation from a range of athletes across the United States. President Andrew Rangan emphasized the importance of team scoring in USCSA and the experience of community that develops for member athletes. For more information, please visit uscsa.org.
