SHS juniors recently gathered for an important school counseling session focused on setting them up for success! Counselors reviewed updated graduation requirements, dove into post-secondary planning, and helped students start thinking ahead for course scheduling.
Juniors also learned about upcoming one-on-one Junior Meetings and are encouraged to bring a parent or guardian along. These meetings are a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with counselors and plan for the road ahead together.
