College planning

     

    • College Exploration

     

    4. In the spring of the junior year, each junior and his/her parents are invited to meet with the counselor regarding college search and post high school planning. In this meeting, discussions pertain to student and parent responsibilities, researching colleges, internet information, and the college application process. In most instances, this is the first step on the road to selecting colleges that are right for the student.
