Junior Post-Secondary Planning has Begun!
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/guardians calling the counseling office to schedule the post-secondary planning meeting. Please contact your child's school counselor or Mr. Madden with any questions.
