Junior Checklist

Class of 2028 Junior Checklist

Junior year is a big step toward graduation and life after high school. Here is what juniors should be working on this year so they are ready for senior year. Questions? Reach out to our Student Success team anytime!

Fall Semester

• September: TSI testing is offered on campus every September. Our last session was September 25, 2026.

• October 20, 2026: Juniors took the PSAT (given every October). It is great practice for the SAT and can qualify students for National Merit scholarships.

• Watch for PSAT scores in early winter and go over them with your student to see what to practice.

• Keep grades strong. Junior year grades are some of the last ones colleges see before applications.

• Check credits and graduation requirements with the Student Success team.

• Start exploring careers, colleges, trade schools, and the military.

Spring Semester

• Take the SAT or the TSI. These scores help show college readiness and can count toward graduation and college requirements.

• We offer the TSI right here on campus! Ask the Student Success team how to sign up. Next on-campus TSI session: March 24, 2027.

• Pick senior year classes that fit your student's plans after high school, including dual credit or career courses.

• Look into summer jobs, volunteering, or programs that build a resume.

Summer Before Senior Year

• Visit colleges or training programs, in person or online.

• Start a list of scholarships to apply for.

• Work on a resume and think about who to ask for letters of recommendation.

• If needed, plan to retake the SAT or TSI in the fall of senior year.

• Get ready for the FAFSA or TASFA, which families complete during senior year.
