Class of 2022 Summer To Do List

 Juniors (or should we say SENIORS!),

As we close out this school year, we wanted to remind you of your summer “to do” list.  Remember, we are not trying to ruin your summer!  Our expectation is that you complete the items below to make the college application process more manageable in the fall.

Below are the videos we have sent out to help start out this process. The first is general information that provides a good overview of timelines and expectations. The second is tips from the Guidance Department on getting started with your college essay.
