The Counseling office put together a college application process presentation for you! We would normally meet with you through your government and economics classes but due to current safety guidelines we are unable to do. Please Click Here to watch and listen to this presentation. It will likely answer your college application questions. We hope you are doing well!
If you need a letter of recommendation from the counselor, you will need to complete the Recommendation Letter Packet. Click Here for that packet . Email your completed packet with detailed information to your counselor. The Counselors require a minimum of 15 School Days to complete letters of recommendation and college application paperwork. Counselors will begin working on recommendation letters in September, and they will be completed in the order they are received.
