Counselors have started meeting with the Class of 2024 students for their junior meeting. This is an opportunity for students to review their grades, progress towards graduation and discuss pertinent items for high school. Students will be contacted by their counselor to set up a meeting.

Junior meetings are full of important information to help students lay a foundation for their post-secondary aspirations.  Since there is so much information, we have created a junior video as a resource to students and their parents. Below you will find an outline of the junior meeting that counselors will be conducting with the students:
