When you are planning for your future, it is helpful to take advantage of job shadowing opportunities as well as college visits. We recommend that you visit the campus of any college or university you are interested in attending. Be sure to schedule a tour by reaching out to the school's Admissions Office. If you have a job shadowing opportunity in mind or if you need help finding opportunities, talk to your counselor. Students are allowed 2 visits a year. In order to get an excused school-related absence, print and fill out the form  (to the right of this text) or stop by the main office and ask for a hard copy.  Turn signed copies in to the main office.

Many scholarships, some college applications, and even certain jobs will require letters of recommendation.  If you would like to request a letter of recommendation from your counselor, please fill out this form. 

All colleges will want a copy of your high school transcripts, and you can send these by utilizing Parchment. Parchment is a website that houses your grades, and you should have registered for the site as a junior.
Current students for this year will receive unlimited electronic transcript requests at no charge until August 1. 
After Aug. 1, you will be charged $3.25 per transcript. 
Email Mrs. Walther if you have questions or need further assistance in registering with Parchment.

Please note- if you order transcripts through Parchment, you should save the PDF file that they send to you immediately, because the link will expire after 3 days.
