COLLEGE & CAREER CENTER
Welcome to the Pacific Grove High School College & Career Center.
Our new coordinator for the 2024-25 school year is Mr. Kent Leatham. You can reach him via email or by phone at (831) 646-6590 x 6269. Students may drop in during break, lunch, open periods, or IPS (with teacher permission), or may request an appointment via email. Parents and guardians are encouraged to contact Mr. Leatham directly via phone or email to request an appointment.
The College & Career Center is located in the school library. Guests are encouraged to use these driving directions and campus map for scheduled visits.
