College Guidance

The senior year guidance program goals are to continue the individual guidance and counseling of each student. Since the college application process is a large part of the senior year, it is important to adhere to deadlines that are set by the colleges and the guidance department in order to assure that all applications (college and scholarship) are submitted in a timely fashion. This web site and the Naviance web site are designed to assist in this process and to inform you of upcoming deadlines and events. Up-to-date scholarship information will also be posted on the Naviance web site as well as in the announcements, and on the guidance suite bulletin boards.
