10th Grade Information

• Continue to focus on your classes by earning the best grades you

can. Seek help when you need it by utilizing before and after school

tutoring.

• Attendance is key! It is important to be in class every day to receive

the valuable material your teachers are sharing. This will help you to

know what to study and prepare for at home. If you have to be out of

school, email your teachers to see what you missed so that you have

a jump start when you return.

• Be here for the PSAT and Pre-ACT and take them seriously! These

tests will help you prepare for the SAT and ACT later in high school.

Doing your best on the pre-tests will help you reach your target

scores on the actual tests. When you receive you score reports back,

make sure you review them and the included study tips.

• Start thinking about college campus visits. This will help you get a

feel for the campus and student bodies to determine where you

would like to apply. Take advantage of teacher workdays and other

school holidays throughout the year to get campus visits done

without missing school.

• Get involved (or stay involved!) Participating in clubs, playing sports,

working a part-time job, or volunteering in the community are all

great ways to meet other students and be more invested in your high

school career. It also shows colleges that you can balance your time

between academics and extra-curriculars.  If you are already involved

in something like this, try to take a leadership role!

• Spend some time on career exploration. Utilize Career Interest

Profile assessments to utilize your likes and dislikes to suggest

possible careers and then explore them more fully. Other ways to

explore possible careers are to volunteer in different fields, look into

internships or job shadowing opportunities, and find family members

or friends who can give you information about their careers.
