❏ Consult Milford HS Graduation Requirements, Honors Diploma Requirements, and NCAA Student-Athlete Requirements if needed.

❏ Consider your next school year! How will Junior year be your year to shine? Will you be a leader in a club? Will you volunteer your time helping others? How will you build study skills to make this year extraordinary?

❏ Check ACT/SAT testing dates and locations for the upcoming school year on www.act.org (ACT) or www.collegeboard.org (SAT) Decide which dates work best for you. Think about ACT/SAT preparation programs or courses.

Students will have 2 college visit days during their junior year. Forms for college visit days can be picked up in the Main Office.

❏ Get Involved -- Beyond using the career and college search and preparation tools in SchooLinks, students could also consider completing some exploratory experiences over the summer. Students could also visit 1-2 colleges to start getting an idea of what types of schools interest them.

❏ Mark Your Calendar -- College 101 is the largest college event of the year at Milford HS. It takes place in late August or early September.
