The Junior Program begins today.

The Guidance Deptartment conducts a small group orientation to post-secondary planning.  The purpose of this orientation is to (a) provide information on registering for the SAT's to be taken in May, or the ACT’s to be taken in April, (b) discuss the career and college exploration process, and (c) review the materials in the Guidance office including the web-based Naviance system.  All students will spend two full periods out of their history classes to participate in this program. Following the group orientation sessions, juniors are required to make an appointment to see their counselor for a full period to review records, discuss plans and get help in the planning process.

Naviance Student User Guide-This guide should help students get started with Naviance. Please see you counselor if you have any questions.  

Guidance Blog- I have been experimenting with a new blog-style, guidance website. Take a look at it here and let me know what you think.
