FRESHMEN

□ Focus on doing well in your classes! 

If you need support in your classes, talk with your teacher, check out our tutoring resources, or come speak with your counselor. 

□ Put effort into extracurricular activities.

Colleges and employers want well-rounded individuals who are involved in their school and local communities. It's even better if your extracurriculars support your future career goals (i.e. volunteering at a local hospital if you want to be in healthcare).

□ Explore potential career routes and colleges.

If you don't know what you want to do yet - that's okay! This is the time to explore options. Counselors will be visiting your classrooms to help you develop your Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) for high school and your post-secondary plans. You are always welcome to visit with your counselor individually about your career interests.
