Upcoming Events & Happenings
As the semester ends, students should be preparing to finish strong! For seniors, colleges are most likely going to request midyear grades and will often factor that information into their decision-making process. For freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, your performance in semester courses will become part of your transcript and factor into your cumulative GPA. Midterms will also count (12%) towards your overall grade for the year. Study and prepare yourself for success!
