Counselors are currently meeting with our juniors. During these meetings we talk about graduation requirements, classes for senior year, and post-secondary planning. We encourage all families of juniors to participate in these meetings. Families are invited to sign up for these meetings using this link. Students whose families are not able to attend will be scheduled individually with their school counselor.

We have resources for your student no matter which path they take after high school! Check out the links below!

All 11th grade students must have 8 career activities completed in their Naviance Career Portfolio by May 31st of their junior year. This is a graduation requirement as well as a requirement to apply for a parking spot for next year. During junior appointments counselors will discuss any outstanding activities that need to be completed with your student. Students can complete these activities on their own by visiting Naviance, which can be accessed through Clever. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your student's counselor!
