Seniors

Reminders for Senior Year: 

• See your school counselor to ensure you are taking courses that meet requirements for graduation and college and/or career entrance requirements. 

• Ensure college applications, scholarship applications and career applications are completed and submitted prior to deadlines. Keep a calendar for important dates and reminders. 

• Visit and re-visit as needed any colleges and companies who you are considering possibilities for college and career choices. 

• Research the difference between Early Decision and Early Action. Early decision plans are binding — a student who is accepted as an ED applicant must attend the college. Early action plans are nonbinding — students receive an early response to their application but do not have to commit to the college until the normal reply date of May 1. 

• As college acceptance letters arrive, explore the colleges further, visit the campuses again, consider financial aid packages offered, Make the choice that is right for you!

• Request letters of recommendation from teachers, mentors, and/or school counselors.

• Practice and re-take the ACT to earn your best possible score. 

• Work with your parents to complete the FAFSA. Ask your school counselor or the College and Career Specialist for support as needed. 

• Build a resume that showcases your accomplishments, employment, and volunteer activities. This information is important for some scholarships and college applications.  

• Be yourself! We are each unique and wonderfully created to contribute to our society in a special way!
