To Do List:

Freshmen and Sophomores:
– Please create a professional Gmail account at your earliest convenience. The email you create in your middle school-junior high years can be unprofessional sometimes and colleges will expect you to have an appropriate username. For example, iceprincess37@gmail.com might not be the most appropriate email address for creating a clean and organized application as well as first impression.

– Move through each day knowing that your semester grades count toward college. Colleges see your semester grades starting in 9th through 12th. It is important that you hold yourself accountable, strive to do your homework on time and to ask for help when needed. The more effort you put into earning a higher GPA, the more success you can achieve.

– Get out and volunteer! Colleges want a well-rounded character; grades are not all that matter.

– Please log into your Naviance account and start exploring!

Juniors & Seniors:
– Juniors, information about the SAT is coming soon…stay tuned.

– Schedule a meeting with me. I would love to meet and get to know you!

– Help me, help you! I want to know what schools you would like to see on campus this year. When you get a chance, please fill out this College Rep Survey.
