Juniors need to begin
thinking about college choices! There are some great web sites that can
help you narrow down your choices and find a school that is a perfect
fit for you! See the college and career section on this web site.

|
Juniors are
encouraged to visit college campuses this year. A great way to “get a
feel” for a college is to visit. Ms. Copeland will be glad to assist
you in setting up a visit through the admissions office. |
|
Be prepared to begin
applying to the colleges of your choice at the beginning of your senior
year. Colleges are much more competitive than in the past. An early
application can make a difference! |
|
All Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to attend the Ed-Op program at
Colleton County High School in October. The
purpose of Ed-Op is to provide an opportunity for high school juniors
and seniors to be exposed to the many types of post-secondary
educational opportunities. Look for new information soon! |
Federal law requires
all men living in the US to register within a month of their
18th birthday for the Selective Service. Registering keeps you
eligible for college loans, government jobs, and driver's
license renewals in most states. Register online at
www.sss.gov or pick up a
registration card at your local post office.
