2019/20 High School Senior Classroom
The 2019/20 High School Senior Classroom opened on August 1, 2019 to provide seniors with a head start to completing their senior-year college-planning tasks. At this point in the college planning process, seniors must choose the modules most appropriate for their college planning needs, such as researching colleges and scholarships, writing essays, requesting recommendation letters, choosing application cycles, completing the FAFSA, reviewing award letters, etc. Seniors who did not participate in our program in grades 9 - 11 may find this to be an arduous undertaking, however, this is the unfortunate reality of college planning. Our staff is available to provide guidance, but there is no avoiding the enormous amount of work to be done if you are to expand your college options and avoid amassing tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.
