Senior Page

This year starts fast and comes to a close before most of us are ready!
Students and their families must be preparing over the summer for the whirlwind of activity that takes place in the fall of Senior year.

Some items for Seniors and their families to consider:

• Ideally, each senior has met with the guidance office during the third quarter of her junior year to discuss post-secondary school plans.

• In August, college counselors meet with seniors in classroom-size groups during free periods or contact periods.  This is a mandatory meeting during which students receive information about expectations, and forms they must complete to process college scholarship applications.  Seniors then schedule individual appointments with their college counselors to formalize their plans and receive individual assistance.

• Guidance Office staff are available to seniors to:
  • Discuss personal concerns
  • Learn realistic goal-setting and decision-making skills
  • Explore personal abilities and interests
  • Assist in the college/career selection and application process
  • To obtain college financial aid information

•  Guidance Office resources include:
• a collection of materials related to post-secondary educational opportunities,
• scholarships and
• financial aid.

Seminars, assemblies and support groups are periodically provided to meet various student needs. Seniors are welcome and encouraged to schedule appointments in the Guidance office. While information on college admissions requirements, scholarships, and financial aid is given during house, seniors will receive assistance individually through appointments with guidance staff.
