Senior Meetings and Individual Appointments                                           

On Friday, August 27, seniors attended the fall counselor presentation. This presentation highlighted senior timeline for planning after high school. During this presentation counselors outline the appropriate next steps for various post-secondary educational and training goals, including college applications, meeting with military representatives, applying to trade schools, as well as the financial aid process and resources to use for scholarship opportunities. The presentation and corresponding senior form can be found here:   Senior Presentation Fall 2021   Senior Appointment Form (with links)

Throughout September counselors are meeting 1-1 with seniors to help students with individual planning. Students and parents are encouraged to continue to meet with their counselor as needed to help with future planning.
