    Be Informed of College Application Deadlines!

    The Counseling department would like to inform college-bound students that it is important to refer to each individual school as to what is the submission deadline for applying to the college either on-line or through the mail with their completed applications and essays and/or personal statements, if required.

    It is important to find out if the deadline is a "postmarked" deadline or if it is an "in the admission office" deadline.

    All students applying to college should file their requests for transcripts in the College Transcripts Office, Room 103.
      Students must have:
    • filed their Junior Questionnaire with their counselor
    • filed their Junior Parent Information Sheet with their counselor
    • provided addressed, stamped envelopes for written recommendations from teachers
    • consulted their counselor concerning their application
    • completed a Request for Transcript form for each application and attached an envelope properly addressed to the college or institution with every application (no postage necessary).
  6. Investigate Scholarships and Financial Aid!

SELECTIVE SERVICE

All males must register with the Selective Service. The law requires all male U.S. Citizens to register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. Therefore, to be in full compliance with the law, a man turning 18 must register during the period of time beginning 30 days before, until 30 days after his birthday... a 60-day window. Register online at: www.sss.gov, or registration forms are available at any Post Office.
