With your Junior year underway, you are one step closer to graduation and that inevitable question ... "What will I do with my life?" The first thing to do is begin planning NOW! Your Junior year is the time to make plans and decisions regarding your future (if you haven't already started).

Where should you begin?

• Research careers and/or colleges you are interested in and relate this information to your interests, academic aptitudes, school courses, grades, and any specific talents you may have.
• Stop in and meet with college admissions and military representatives visiting Student Services (see the schedule of upcoming visit posted outside of Student Services).
• Utilize the internet to access college admission and financial aid information.
• Speak with Mrs. O'Brien and Mrs. Rust to become familiar with the various sources of career, military, and/or college information.

- Overall high school record and rigor of courses (strength of your schedule)

- GPA (grade point average)

- Class rank

- SAT/ACT scores

- Activities, athletics, clubs, and community services

One of the best ways to prepare for the upcoming SAT is by taking the PSAT (Preliminary SAT). The PSAT will be offered on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 in the High School.

Please see Mrs. Dooley in Student Services by September 28th to register for the PSAT! The fee is $18 and checks may be made out to SCS.

Please remember that by taking the PSAT you can:

• Prepare for the upcoming SAT.
• Assess your reading, writing, language, and math skills.
• Gain access to Khan Academy, which provides you with free and personalized practice for the SAT.
• Receive specific suggestions on how to improve your academic skills.
• Compete for scholarships (ie: National Merit Scholarship Corporation Competition).
• Get started on the college search process.

Keep a look out for club meetings, athletic sign ups, extra curricular and community service opportunities on our daily announcements. When you get involved, please keep track of all of your activities as this documentation will be very useful when going through the college application process in a couple of years. Time goes fast so start planning now!
