  • SENIORS-CHECK YOUR EMAIL!!Seniors were emailed information about college decisions and scholarship notifications. Please be sure to check it for details. Seniors should CONSISTENTLY check their email in case of any issues with their college applications/transcript requests. Several seniors don't check their email and therefore miss deadlines or important information--including applications that we cannot process for various reasons. This is each student's responsbility!

We will do our best to keep you updated here with our latest announcements so check back often. Good luck and have a great year.

 

  • Counseling is now using Naviance! We now have a new additional Counseling web site resource called Naviance. It is a more comprehensive college planning resource and is up and running! ALL seniors should've received login information at the end of last school year--and were informed about it again at the mandatory senior meeting held on Friday, August 26th. Feel free to contact your counselor if you have questions.

 

  • Seniors - College Application/Transcript Requests: ALL college applications require a transcript, which must be submitted through counseling. You must bring in a Transcript Release Form for each college, along with the $4.00 fee (per transcript) to counseling. You must also include the counselor/secondary school form for each college (if they have one, they're found on each college's website). NO application/transcript requests will be completed without those items. If you are using the Common Application, you MUST still fill out a Transcript Release Form for each Common App school, along with the transcript fee for each. Transcript Release Forms can be found on this site by clicking the "Sr. Transcript Release" link, as well as on Naviance under "documents".

The list of those visiting is updated here on the "College Visit Schedule" link and also in Naviance under the "Colleges" tab, then "visits." Interested students must sign up online in Naviance for a pass at least 2 days in advance of any visit.
