PLANNING
FOR COLLEGE
College preparation begins with
the 9th grade. The school Guidance Counselor will keep the student informed of
all college planning information through College Resource Guides, newsletter, classroom
visits, college web sites, and individual counseling. Although Guidance Counselor
can help in this planning, the ultimate responsibility rests with the student and parent.
Students will be given an opportunity to visit with representatives from colleges and
universities. Information and registration packets regarding testing programs for
college entrance will be made available to all students.
