The Path to High School Graduation and Beyond - 12th grade edition
Congratulations on reaching your senior year of high school. It is an exciting time in your life, but it is also a very important and busy time. The following game plan should help you as you maneuver through your last year in high school and figure out exactly where you are going to be when it is over.
What you should be doing right now...
-
Choose classes for next year that will make you eligible for admission to a 4 year college right after high school. Make sure you meet your Fine Art requirement next year if you have not yet done so as well as continue in your Math, Science and World Language classes. Challenge yourself but be realistic as it is imperative that you keep all of your grades up to C’s or higher.
Next school year…when you will be a 12th grader!!

Take the
SAT and/or
ACT by Nov. or Dec. (should be taken in the spring of Jr. year also). These are required for admission into 4 year colleges. Consider taking some SAT subject tests as many colleges look at these scores as well. **If you need accommodations, contact SAT or ACT directly.
