Attend school every day unless you are sick. Missing school makes it hard to keep up in your classes.
Submit assignments on time and study for tests. Every grade counts!
You will need to have 2 English credits, 2 math credits and a total of 11 credits to be a junior next year.
Aim for a GPA above 3.0 (B-average) to allow for state and other scholarship opportunities.
Write out 1-3 goals for this year. A good idea would be to set one goal for each area: personal, academic, and college or career.
Get Involved! If you are not already committed, find an school club, sport, or volunteer work. Your future employers and college admissions representatives want to see that you are involved in your school or community. Plus, these experiences give you opportunities to develop real-life skills and grow as a leader.
Update your resume with any extracurricular activities, academic achievements, or volunteer experience.
Research your career interests and determine what type of post-high school education/training you will need. If you will attend a four-year college, make a list of potential colleges that offer your major.

This is a detailed guide for how to prepare for and apply to college. Of course, this booklet is not meant to replace the individual advisement you will receive from your school counselor, but it will answer many of your important questions.
If you are currently enrolled in honors courses and want to increase your academic rigor, consider taking advanced placement (AP) courses. AP courses will prepare you well for your future college experience!
