The Junior Interview is for you and your parents to help you with the application processes to colleges and for scholarships. This can be a confusing time, but if you approach it with a set, orderly procedure, we believe that you will find everything will fall into place. Above all, use all the resources available to you to help you make your decisions. Resources such as: college admission counselors, guidance counselors, parents, friends, community members, and http://cyberguidance.net with its links to many resources on the Internet. Seek answers and information through research and questioning so that you will be prepared for this step in your life.
These are some of the more important decisions in your life so far, and the only way to feel good about them is to feel prepared. The Guidance Department wishes you the best of luck in this endeavor.
To The Parents
We will be meeting with juniors and their parents to discuss future and college plans. The meetings will take approximately 45 minutes where we will discuss specific colleges for your student. We will begin these meetings in mid-February. Parental attendance is recommended but not mandatory. If you wish to attend, please complete an online form to indicate the best times for the meeting - i.e., early in the morning before work, during lunch, etc. If you are unable to attend, please encourage your student to attend, for this is a very important and confusing time and the burden can be lessened by careful planning.
