Important Dates for Seniors
This is a
crucial time for seniors. This year is a time to continue to
highlight the quality work of the past three years. The
expectation of colleges and employers is that you present a
strong finish as you move forward. We strongly recommend
that you and your son or daughter begin the college planning
process within the next two months. We also urge you to
visit college campuses and begin narrowing your college
choices. Below you will find a helpful timeline of
important upcoming dates to follow in order to help your
college planning process go as smoothly as
