Sierra College

West Park High School has partnered with Sierra College to ensure a strong relationship has formed to better support our graduating Seniors as well as our students enrolled in Dual Enrollment classes. 

We are lucky to have Mrs. Hildebrand here who also works for Sierra College. In addition to being the Counselor West Park, she is also the Sierra College Transitions Counselor for West Park High School.  If your goal is to attend Sierra College after graduating from West Park High, then she is a great support to assist any of our Seniors with your next steps! 

In addition, JD Murillo, a Sierra College Enrollment Specialist, assists students with their transition to Sierra College by offering workshops for completing and submitting the Sierra College application, financial aid information, first year planning, class registration, and connecting you with other resources that can help you be successful at Sierra!
