PHS JUNIOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION

To support our students' postsecondary journeys, Proctor High School has joined the Direct Admissions Minnesota program for the 2024-25 school year. Direct Admissions offers seniors a look at the many college options they have after high school by proactively notifying them of which Minnesota colleges and universities they are accepted to - before they even apply!

Juniors, set up a meeting with your counselor soon so that you can discuss the following:

- Where are you in regards to graduation? What do you need and how can you get it to complete requirements?

- Where do you want to go? What are you doing now to help you develop your plan for what happens after graduation?

- Do you want to play collegiate sports? What steps should you be taking now to be recruited and what must you have on your transcript to be eligible for DII or higher college sports?
