Juniors!! Class of 2023
Howard University Mentoring Event--This Thursday
Howard University is reaching out to share with CHS students an opportunity to engage with Howard University alumni who are leading professionals in their respective fields. Our "Career Speed Share" event is an annual favorite where students rotate to spend a little time meeting different HU alumni to learn who they are, and then students get to introduce themselves and share their aspirations to gain insight from the alumni on how to chart their course for success.
Date: Thursday, April 28th
Time: 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Register to Attend on Eventbrite: Search Career Speed Share or go to link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/career-speed-share-tickets-325790156127
Are you interested in applying to an Academy?
Ossoff GA Academy Day
If your student is interested in the service academies, Senator Ossoff is hosting a GA Academy Day on Saturday, April 30th 2022 at Dobbins Air Reserve Base. There is a form at https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/academyday2022/ to express interest in the event but there is a note on the form stating "Completion of this form does not guarantee admittance to the event. Upon completion of the form, confirmed attendees should expect to receive a formal invitation via email from the Air Force to the email provided, which will include logistics information such as address and parking instructions."
There are 4 big advantages to taking the June ACT-
- Students are still in "school" mode, so they're mentally warmed-up for testing.
- They've got plenty of time to submit applications for scholarships and schools if they meet their performance goals.
- If they decide to retest, they know the areas they need to work on.
- June is one of only three chances per year to purchase their Test Information Release (TIR) to help them prep. A TIR is an official copy of their questions, the answer key, and the answers they submitted.
June is the perfect time to take the ACT, register by May 6th
