December - Class of 2025
🎄 December Reminders 🎄
The first semester of your junior year is OVER! Can you believe it? Before you know it, SWEET, SWEET SUMMERTIME will be here and you will be on the cusp of your SENIOR YEAR! But before we get there, remember that this coming semester is one of utmost importance as you prepare for college applications next Fall.
Junior year spring semester is the time to get your head in the game and focus on continuing to lay the groundwork for what comes next - COLLEGE/CAREER. Are you ready?
For most students, the transcript you will send to colleges with your admissions applications in the fall will only include your grades through the second semester of junior year. It's time to put your best foot forward and focus on making the best grades you can!
Spring semester will also be important because you will take the ACT in February (your school will let you know more about this).
Contact the Crosby Scholars High School Team when you have any questions! We are here to help! Our contact information is available at the bottom of this newsletter.
This month's newsletter includes information about:
- CFNC Next Program for Juniors
- ACT Test Strategies
