The MHS College & Career Center is a comprehensive resource center that assists students and parents in making well-informed decisions about their post-high school years. The goal is to help students find the best college or university that fits their academic, professional, social and personal needs. To that end, students meet individually with our college counselor throughout their junior and senior years. The staff supports them in the research and application process, while also helping them learn to be their own best advocate.

Malibu High School is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling and the Western Association for College Admission Counseling.  The college counselor actively participates in professional development opportunities and volunteers in various NACAC and WACAC committees.
