The College and Career Center is available to support juniors with post-high school planning as we move into Spring. Students may drop in before or after school or sign up for a 15-minute appointment for help with college lists, majors, summer opportunities, resumes, and more. All juniors are encouraged to complete the Class of 2027 JuniorQuestionnaire and bring it to your meeting for personalized planning. Helpful tools, including the College List Guide, Application Checklist, and Junior Year Planning Calendar, are available to keep students on track.
Last reminder for your student to register for the Junior-only SAT during the school day on Monday, Mar 2. The cost is $60 per exam, and payment is due by Friday, Jan 30. Your webstore receipt serves as confirmation. Questions can be directed to Testing Coordinator Jamielle McDonald.
