Seniors, what will you be doing after graduation?
Seniors who have decided their future plans, are invited to stop by the counseling office to pick up a pennant to fill out with their name and the name of the career, training, college or military branch that they will be attending. We will be displaying these pennants in our halls so that all of our PHSC family can congratulate them!
Scholarships
Seniors should be checking the scholarships list on Naviance regularly, as many local scholarships have been posted and have March deadlines! Questions about a scholarship applications? See Mrs. Asch in the Counseling Office.
Honors Diplomas
Attention Seniors! If you think you are eligible for an Academic Honors Diploma, you must turn in the form (available in your email, this webpage or in the counseling office) by April 1st. If you have questions, please contact your school counselor.

Summer Opportunities
Summer is the perfect time for high school students to do a little resume building for their future college, scholarship, and job applications! College admissions counselors love to see their applicants continue their learning all summer long. We have been posting a variety of great summer programs and jobs for high school students on Naviance under the college page and then enrichment. We also have a bulletin board in the hallway outside of our office where we post summer job opportunities. Students may also find summer programs by going to https://www.studenteducationprograms.com/ohio/
Please make sure to apply before the deadlines.
