WHAT IS THE CRC? Chaska and Chanhassen High Schools each have a College/Career Resource Center for 9-12 grade students to EXPLORE, DREAM, and DISCOVER their future plans. The CRCs are a part of the counseling departments and each CRC has a full time staff that specifically assists and supports each student with career and college exploration, admissions process/ applications, financial aid, and scholarships so that each student has their best chance for success whether it be a 4 year school, 2 year school, military, directly to the work force, a GAP Year or any other choice.
