College Admissions Fact:
Many colleges track your "interest" in their school. To "demonstrate" interest one thing you can do is attend college fairs and connect with representatives. Most of the representatives you meet at the fairs will be the person directly reviewing your application for admission.

Junior Post-Secondary Planning begins!
During the first week of January the School Counseling department met with all juniors to kick off the postsecondary planning process. Students participated in a counselor led lesson about finding the "right fit" school. In addition all juniors were assigned the "Junior Planning Sheet" which can be found in the class of 2025 Google Classroom. Students must complete this form prior to parents calling the counseling office to schedule the postsecondary planning meeting. Please contact your child's school counselor or Mr. Madden with any questions.
