Post Graduation Prep

Students may see any counselor on the staff regarding personal issues. For educational decisions or registration, students are to see their assigned counselor.  Except for unusual circumstances, students should see their counselor before or after school, or between classes, or at lunch. Counselors cannot see students during class unless a teacher has sent the student or the counselor sends for the student. Students may request an appointment by filling out a purple slip in the Counseling office. 

Counselors seek to provide students with up-to-date occupational and career information. Students should understand that the courses they select often have a significant bearing on the options open to them in the future. A career interest survey is available to students upon request; students then receive an in-depth computer analysis of their career interests. A scholarship search program is also available to students. 

provide students with strategies for success both in high school and college and ongoing preparation for college admissions. Students are encouraged to choose high school courses and curriculum with their post-high school training and/or career goals in mind. To assist students and parents in this exploration, various materials and programs are available. These programs include small group sessions with junior and senior students regarding the details and processes of choosing a college, testing, admissions requirements, and applications for admissions and financial aid. Many colleges send admission representatives to visit the high school each year. Students and families are urged to take advantage of these visitations and other informational programs.
