From the Junior Counselor

Just wrapping up a great week of seeing most juniors in their history classes. Students made their initial choices for senior classes which will be finalized over the next few weeks. WE also talked about junior year time management and a plan to finish high school well and prepare for postsecondary options.
 
Parents: Students can share with you their personal timeline and their initial list of schools that they are considering after they graduate. Students created a list on Naviance, our college and career software. Students can access this list at any time and continue to do college and career research. Next year it can be used as a portal account for us to send information to the colleges they apply to. 
 
Students: Continue to do your college and career research and follow your timeline. Continue to make the most of your junior year!
