In their Junior year all students will receive and review a college planning packet in English 11 class.  Students  should have taken the SAT/ACT by the end of their junior year, distributed their teacher recommendation sheets, and completed a list of campuses they would like to learn more about.  Many students will be finishing up their campus visits that summer.  If you need an additional packet or more information, please access the sights below.
