Some college application deadlines fall either during, or immediately following, our holiday break. School Counselors will not be available to process materials from 12/21-1/3 - This includes reviewing applications, sending transcripts, completing School Reports and Counselor Recommendation forms. Seniors must be aware of their deadlines and be prepared with their requests well in advance of vacation in order to allow sufficient processing time.

As a general reminder, the student's portion of college applications must be submitted on time to meet the application deadline. Supplemental materials such as letters of recommendation & transcripts are not held to the same deadlines. Students should be meeting with their School Counselor to discuss their process and questions they may have.

Seniors who received a letter regarding the Roberta B. Willis Scholarship are encouraged to provide the required information to their School Counselor now and not wait for the January 19th deadline to do so.
