Student Responsibilities
Planning for college and career readiness is a gradual process that develops throughout high school. Students are encouraged to build strong academic habits, explore interests, and stay informed about post-secondary options each year. As students progress, responsibilities shift from exploration and preparation to active planning, organization, and completion of college-related requirements. Staying engaged academically, communicating with counselors and colleges, and meeting all deadlines are essential to ensuring a smooth transition from high school to higher education.
