You are about to embark on one
of the most important events in
your life. My goal is to help
guide you on your journey of
making a college selection by
providing information &
suggestions for college and
career planning. I will be your
College & Career Counselor this
year, and I look forward to
helping you with your life after
high school plans!


The following list consists of
things you will need to get
started on…
(1) Letters of Recommendation –
allow at least 2 weeks for a teacher,
counselor, and/or administrator to write
letters or fill out forms for colleges.
Consider people who would be the
best to write these letters for you.
(2)Transcript Release Form– all
seniors must have a release on file
before any transcripts will be released
to a college/university. You may
obtain this form from me. It is located
in the box outside my door. If you are
not 18 years of age, it must be signed
by a parent or guardian.
(3) Transcript Request – see Mrs.
Cameron to request official transcripts
to be sent. Transcripts are FREE for
current seniors only. Transcripts
mailed on Tuesday and Thursday of
each week ONLY. In order to get a
transcript sent out on Tuesday
morning, all transcript requests must
be placed in the red envelope (located
on my office door) by the previous
Thursday (before the end of the
school day). Likewise, in order to get
a transcript sent out on Thursday
morning, all transcript requests must
be placed in the red envelope by the
previous Tuesday (before the end of
the school day). NO EXCEPTIONS!
Please remember…………… A
LACK of PREPARATION on YOUR
PART does not CONSTITUTE an
EMERGENCY on MY PART!
(4) College Information – start
researching colleges now by
visiting college campuses,
requesting catalogs, & looking at
admission requirements. If you
visit a college, you need to get
proof of your visit, on a college
letterhead, to turn into attendance.
Each senior should apply to at
least five colleges/universities. A
great site that will automatically
give you lists of
colleges/universities across the US
is
http://dir.yahoo.com/Education/Higher_Ed
ucation/Colleges_and_Universities/United
_States/
(5) Counselor Request – when you
need to see me, please fill out a
request form in the Guidance Dept. I
will meet with students in the order that
I receive requests. Keep in mind that I
will be coming to your English class to
