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 - click on 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!
See below for information on requesting documents needed for college applications.
