Seniors

In just a few short weeks, we hope to see each of you crossing the stage at graduation! However, prior to that glorious day, we need all seniors to take care of some counseling business to ensure you are cleared for graduation.

1. Complete all of the tasks that have been assigned to you in Naviance.
2. Continue to search for scholarships!
3. Submit your college applications as soon as possible! 
4. If there are colleges on your Colleges I'm Applying To list that you are no longer applying to, email your counselor so that we can remove those colleges from your list.
5. Pass your classes. All of them. Please don't assume that grades in electives don't matter. They do.  
6. Pay your senior dues. See the senior sponsors or the senior class website if you have any questions about this.

If you have questions, please contact your assigned counselor directly.
