Junior CCR meetings
Juniors, it is time for your CCR meeting with your counselor! Go to the SHS website to make your appointment. https://www.shs.nebo.edu/o/shs/page/school-counseling. Remember, during your student’s College and Career Readiness (CCR) meeting, we will review important topics to help you plan for the future. This includes exploring career interests, discussing future college and scholarship opportunities, and ensuring you are on track with course planning and selection for the next school year. These meetings are a great opportunity to check in on progress and ensure you're prepared for the year ahead. Parents are invited but not required to attend. Hurry and schedule your appointment today.

Deferment
Some students may choose to defer college for missionary or military service. In order to have the best chance for admissions and scholarships, students should apply for college as if they are planning to attend in the fall, meeting Fall 2026 admission and scholarship deadlines. Students can then choose to defer scholarships and admission with the college of their choice. Doing this will secure a spot upon their return and hold any scholarships they receive. Because each college handles deferment a bit differently, it is best to check directly with them to find out what steps need to be taken. Below is a direct link to each Utah college’s deferment information.
