SENIOR NEWS: 

  • Seniors should continue to search for scholarships.
  • Counselors have completed the second session of scheduled interviews with each senior.  Parents with any questions can call his/her child’s counselor at 239-7871.

 

JUNIOR NEWS:

·        There will be an ACT prep class (Super Saturday) on Saturday, March 20 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  This is a class to help our juniors (and any senior who has not had a prep class) to prepare for the upcoming ACT tests in April and June.  A “trial test” will be given from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  The test will be given under standard ACT conditions, but the score will not count.  The afternoon session will consist of “breakout” sessions where students will go into groups of approximately 20-25.  Instructors will give tips on how students can do their best in each of the subtest areas and answer questions about particular items students missed on the trial test. Students must have pre-registered and paid the $15 fee.   

·        If a student plans to go on to college, we highly recommend that he/she take the ACT test in the junior year.  The remaining two test dates are April 10 and June 12.  The next test available to students will be in September of their senior year.  If you have questions about the best test date for your child, please call the Guidance Office. 

  • Many colleges have scheduled spring visits to speak with our students.  Students may sign up to listen to three of the college representatives.  It is a good time for juniors to begin thinking about which schools they’d like to visit during the summer.  Seniors will have the opportunity to ask any unanswered questions they may have.  Students must sign up for the visits at least one day in advance.  They can check our web page or the bulletin board outside the Guidance Office to see what schools will be visiting.

 

ALL STUDENTS:

·        As we receive job opportunities for the summer, the openings are posted on a bulletin board outside the Guidance Office. 

·        There are several summer enrichment programs available to students in the summer.  Students can inquire about these in Guidance.
