Junior Year Boot Camp Available THIS SUMMER!
Any student who has graduated can share with you what educators have known for years - junior year is a rough one. Students start thinking about college, the course work becomes even more challenging, standardized tests, and prom..it is no wonder they stress out. Based on parent demand, Mrs. Hilton and Mrs. Littner are offering a Junior Year Boot Camp to help soon-to-be juniors begin to prepare for the rigors and stress of next fall. Attached you will find a letter which will give you details about the content, dates, and cost of the camp, as well as a registration form. This camp will be held from June 12-June 15th. We are limiting the class to 25 per class, so register early and mail it to the address on the form. Please make sure you put “JUNIOR BOOT CAMP” on the envelope as we have many camps going on this summer.

Interested in Taking Community College Courses During High School? Please read this important message!
Students who are considering taking a course at their community college this summer should be aware that it cannot be anything that is required by Marian Central for graduation. You will need to meet with your counselor to get permission to take a class and to possibly get high school credit for it, too, in addition to the college credit that you will be receiving. Typically the colleges also have a form that you must fill out and bring to your counselor to sign giving you permission to take the class.
