Senior Year Focus
-
Senior year always proves to be a very busy year. Along with academic responsibilities, sports, clubs and possibly employment, students are also expected to focus their efforts on determining their post high school plans. Seniors will meet with their Counselor early in the Fall to ensure that all requirements for graduation will be met on time and to discuss post-secondary plans.
College-bound students should be building their portfolio prior to arriving back to school in September. A comprehensive portfolio (saved to a flash-drive) includes:
- Activity sheet/resume
- Letters of recommendation
- Application essay drafts (for college & scholarships)
- SAT and/or ACT test scores (SAT Subject Tests)
- Completed (SAT/ACT) registration for Fall tests
- A list of 2 or more prospective colleges
Military-bound students should:
- Ensure you are on track for graduation
- Have made contact with your selected branch
Career-bound students should:
- Develop a resume
- Request references/letter of recommendation
- Ensure you are on track for graduation
