College Research Nights are held throughout the year in the evenings, usually during conferences, for junior and senior parents. Colleges and universities visit Destiny High School each year to recruit students. The Guidance Director is available to meet individually with parents and students to provide the most up-to-date information, assist in ACT registration, plan FAFSA assistance, and help students find the best fit in a college or career.
