Classroom academic advising has ended. Now, students must meet with their counselor for an individual advising meeting. Meetings for sophomores and juniors have begun. Meetings for freshmen and seniors will begin soon and details will be provided once available. Parents are encouraged to attend these meetings. Click here to review classroom academic advising sessions and schedule an individual advising appointment.

As we work through academic advising, we ask that all students research their plans for after high school. This way, we can help students begin working toward those goals now. For example, if you want to attend a specific college, then let’s make sure you are taking the classes in high school that will enhance your chances of admission. If you’ve already thought about your potential major, you can take classes during high school that introduce you to that major. Students who are interested in going to work or joining the military after high school may benefit from work-based learning in 11th and 12th grades or our NROTC program.

Students will receive their course selection worksheet for the 2023/2024 school year on October 25th. The form is due, with a parent's signature, by October 26th.

The AP Capstone Program cultivates critical skills that students need to be successful in college and in life. Students who complete the AP Capstone Program often stand out during the college admissions process. First, students will take AP Seminar and AP Language during their junior year. Second, students will take AP Research during their senior year. Students who are enrolled in AP Research do not have to enroll in a 12th grade literature class. Students who successfully complete AP Seminar and AP Research will receive an AP Seminar and Research Certificate. Students can go one step further and earn an AP Capstone Diploma by completing AP Seminar, AP Research, and passing four additional AP classes and AP exams at any time during high school.

Mr. Metcalf, our Graduation Counselor, would like to host a small group to study "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens." The group will focus on self-image, friendship, peer pressure, goals, and more. Please contact Mr. Metcalf at stephen.metcalf@ccboe.net if you are interested in being a part of this group.
