Senior Information for Students
🚨The county is no longer using Naviance for sending transcripts and letters to colleges, so if you are trying to access Naviance, you won't be able to. See the information for SchooLinks, the new platform we are using, in the Senior Seminar presentation below.
Senior Seminar Presentation for Students
Senior Seminar for the Class of 2027 took place September 2nd for students to learn about post-secondary options, how to request transcripts and letters of recommendation through SchooLinks for college applications, and options for paying for college. If you did not attend Senior Seminar, you can use the link below to review the information that was shared. Counselors are at a table outside the Counseling Office during all lunches if students have questions. Bring your laptop if you have questions about SchooLinks.
Senior Seminar Presentation - use this link to review the Senior Seminar presentation. We are asking that all seniors update their email address in SchooLinks to add a personal email address (directions on slide 17) that you will check regularly, even if you aren't sure of your plans for after high school yet. Updating your email address in SchooLinks with a personal address will ensure you don't miss out on important information the Counseling Office will share with seniors throughout the year!
No Fee November 2026 - Check back here in November for a link to the list of GA colleges participating in No Fee November, meaning if you apply to them during the month of November, you will not have to pay the application fee.
