College Planning

The college guidance program aims to help the student formulate appropriate post-secondary plans.  The college counselor works with juniors early in the year to assist the students with their higher educational plans. Meetings between the guidance counselor, the 

student, and the parents are focused mainly on college applications, College Board testing and financial aid information.  The college counselor is available for appointments with the students and parents during regular school hours.  Parents must be active participants in the college search and application process.  An initial meeting between the college counselor and students will take place at the beginning of the junior year.  A meeting will take place between the college counselor and parents after the PSAT scores are received in December.
