Gap Year

The Counseling Department provides information for Gap Years.

• After high school graduation a Gap Years is a period, typically an academic year, taken by a student as a break between secondary school and higher education.
• Gap Year activities: Continue schooling, college preparation, continue athletic training, meet new people, improve people skills, preparation for the future, etc.
• Link: GAP YEAR FAIRS
• Students are encouraged to still apply to colleges or universities during their senior year, if this is their plan post Gap Year. (Please refer to the specific college admission process of each school.) This will allow the student to fully enjoy their Gap Year and not worry about the admission process.
