A Heads-Up for Seniors from the Counseling Department!
Counselors will be meeting with all seniors to discuss post-high school plans, and will be reviewing the college application process beginning the second week of September.
Every senior who plans to apply directly to a four-year college will receive a packet of information detailing everything you need to know about the college application process. In order to best prepare for these meetings, start making a list of colleges you want to apply to and feel free to come with questions for your counselors. Parents, please review these packets with your students. This is a very exciting time for our seniors!
If you are planning to go to community college or a trade school or maybe have a unique plan for you, please let your counselor know. We will check in with you briefly now, and more detailed information regarding community college applications will come to your student in October.
