Last updated: Mar 09, 2026, 3:30 p.m.
The CIC (College Information Center) is a centrally located source of college information. The Walnut Hills High School Parent Association in collaboration with the Counseling Office established the CIC in 1997. While the CIC staff is now funded mostly by CPS, the WHHS Parent Association and the WHHS Alumni Foundation continue to augment enhancements and resources for the center. Staff offer vital support to all Walnut Hills students in their college searches.
CIC services include:
- Meeting with parents in large groups as part of the evening counseling programming to explain the college entrance test process and college admissions process
- Alerting sophomores, juniors, and seniors to college testing dates and deadlines

- Meeting with students individually to review completed practice tests and to identify test-taking strengths and weaknesses
- Maintaining a library of sample PSAT/SAT and ACT exams, along with annotated copies, for students to practice test-taking at home
- Offering multiple small group sessions of Common Application Bootcamp for seniors to facilitate completion of The Common Application
- Offering multiple small group College Essay Workshops for seniors
- Providing individual assistance for college application essays
- Offering individual practice interviews for college admission and scholarship consideration
- Sponsoring after-school programs such as: Interviewing Skills Workshop in the fall
