Guidance Department
The Guidance
Department’s services were established to help make students’ stay
in high school as beneficial and purposeful as possible. The
department aids each student in the choice of curriculum and the
selection of subject courses within the curriculum. At appropriate
intervals, the department also advises each student, along with his/
her parents, on the choice of a vocation, entry into college, job
placement and personal problems which the student may face.
Counselors keep a careful check on every student’s progress by
means of frequent student interviews, analysis of test results,
inspection of report cards, feedback from teachers and interviews
with the student’s parents.
The
Scheduling Process
This course guide is prepared to
assist students and their counselors in the scheduling process for
the school year 2007/2008. At the time of this printing there are
several proposed courses, which are subject to final approval by
the Board of Education. Students will begin the scheduling process
in January and continue through March. Data from student course
requests will be used to determine appropriate staffing allocations
to support the curricula program in this Course Guide. Students
and parents with questions should direct them to the respective
Guidance Counselors listed above. Students with special needs
should also consult their respective Case Managers as regards their
upcoming schedule of classes.

When preparing to enter college, having a well-organized schedule of how you will spend your time will make all the difference. You're never too young to start; you will find something valuable here if you are a senior trying to pick a college or a freshman in high school just starting to develop your own interests.
September:
- Freshmen: Visit your Guidance counselor to map out a four-year curriculum that will put you into the most challenging courses you can handle.
- Sophomores: Register for the PSAT or the PLAN if they are offered to sophomores at your school.
- Juniors: Get serious about your schoolwork if you haven't already; junior-year grades are extremely important as is the rigor of your coursework. Be sure to register for the PSAT or the PLAN. Attend college fairs and gather information.
- Seniors: Plan to work really hard this term. Your grades will be included on your transcript. If necessary, register to retake the SAT I or ACT. If SAT IIs are required by your colleges, sign up for those, too. Review your final list of colleges with your counselor, and start gathering applications. Once you've received the application forms, begin working on the essays. Thinking about applying early? You need to decide soon.
