11TH GRADE

Your Junior year is where you begin the serious stages of the college process.

Your PSAT score is a predictor of future SAT scores and is not information that colleges will receive as part of your admissions package. Use your score report to practice for the SAT. We suggest that juniors who are considering applying to college sign up for the SAT or ACT tests.

Please plan to meet with your counselor and parents or guardians in the Spring of 2004 to discuss post-high school graduation plans.

Advanced placement exams will be held in May. As the test dates draw closer we will be more specific. Advanced placement scores will be sent to students in July.
