ACT Frenzy
Our ACT Frenzy Week has come to an end! From the HHS House ACT party, to the A+ ACT Week and all of you who have trekked down to the counseling office this last week- we are sure to have a long list of you testing on December 14th! Remember - 100% participation is expected so if you haven't signed up to test yet, you should be considering the late deadline!
College Application Fair Was a Success!
The GHS College Application Fair was a success! To all of you who applied at one or more of the colleges represented - your current transcripts have been sent and your application fees were waived! You are now waiting on acceptance letters from the schools you applied to - start checking your mail!
So I've Decided on a College...What Now?
There are two very important next steps once you have selected a college and been accepted. The first is to inquire as to whether you qualify for any scholarships provided by the school. This could be academic, athletic, extra-curricular, etc. Peruse the college website to find more info or call an admissions specialist. The second important item is to begin thinking about completing your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This is done early in the second semester. We will begin the process at GHS and then invite parents up to attend our FAFSA Completion Night once they have completed their taxes.
