Freshmen "Five Minute" Meetings
In order to best get to know our brand new freshmen we will be conducting brief, five minute interviews, throughout the next month. These meetings will be taking place alongside our senior meetings so they may continue into November if necessary.
Individual Progress Reviews for the Class of 2024
Seniors have begun their Individual Progress Reviews with their school counselors to discuss plans for life after high school. These meetings are required, and it is up to the student to schedule them via the link provided on the Class of 2024 Schoology Resources page (we also posted them below), or by scanning the QR code located on the posters throughout the high school.
SUNY Roadshow for juniors and seniors
We will host the SUNY Roadshow September 27th from 9:30-10:30 in the gymnasium. This is a mandatory assembly for our juniors and seniors. The SUNY Roadshow is a group of admissions representatives from several SUNY schools. They share information regarding the SUNY system, specifics regarding their schools, and the college application process.
