Junior Sessions
Last week all juniors researched post-secondary plans with counselors in the College and Career Center. Students chose activities from three areas--Researching Majors and Careers, Researching 4-year Colleges, and Exploring College of DuPage. The activities are designed for continued use as students start to narrow their list of possible plans for after high school. These activities can be found on the Junior page under the heading "Information" on the right side. Scroll down to "April 7-10, 2015, Junior Presentation #2." Click here for a link to the Junior page. Contact your counselor or Mrs. Manderino (College and Career Counselor) with any questions about these activities.
