Apply To College Day (for seniors only)
Apply To College Day is an opportunity for seniors to work on and submit their college applications, apply for scholarships, work on the FAFSA, and ask all the questions that may still be lingering regarding the college application process.
If your senior would like assistance with the college application process and/or financial aid, please ask them to stop by the Counseling Office and sign up. Space is limited and students are required to register in advance. The deadline to sign up is Wednesday, November 10th.

The student will receive an email confirmation. It is critical that the student has an accurate email in their Naviance profile (instructions to update the student email address can be found in our 11th & 12th Grade PowerPointment presentation on our website under Important Updates).
Currently, we have the following colleges/universities that have signed up and are ready to meet with our students. Students are encouraged to check their Naviance accounts regularly to see the colleges and universities that scheduled a visit to Sprayberry HS.

The last day of AO will be Wednesday, November 17th. All college visits will re-convene when we return in January. Stay tuned!

*NOTE: Cobb County School District assigned every student with a Naviance account. If your student does not recall their username and/or password, the student needs to send an email to their assigned counselor.
