Post-Secondary Planning

Seniors should be meeting with their school counselor in regards to their post secondary planning. College bound students thinking about applying Early Action or Early Decision have deadlines that are fast approaching. It is important that these students are working closely with their counselor to ensure all school related materials are ready for application deadlines.

Parents are encouraged to meet with their child’s school counselor or reach out with any questions.

Scholarship Opportunities

As many of our seniors begin their college application process, the Guidance Office will periodically share scholarship opportunities over the coming weeks and months. We encourage you to explore these resources and take advantage of the financial assistance available to help fund your education.

Guidance counselors have begun meeting with freshmen during advisory. Guidance counselors will introduce themselves to students and explain their roles and responsibilities in supporting them throughout their four years of high school. Students will learn how their counselors can assist them with academic planning, personal and social concerns, and preparation for their future goals.
