This year’s focus is about becoming a high school student and making the transition a good one. At the same time, there are a few things to keep in mind that you can start with now.
This year’s emphasis is to continue to achieve the best grades possible, and to prepare for the college process: continue your resume, and later in the year, become familiar with testing, Family Connection, and take a first look at colleges.
Junior year is a critical year for grades, activities, college searching, and testing. By the end of the year, Juniors should have a pretty good idea of the colleges they are interested in, have visited schools and have taken their first SAT and/or ACT tests.
Senior year is all about maintaining your grades, the work of taking SAT and ACT tests for the last time, applying to schools, applying for scholarships, awaiting notification and- finally- graduating!
