Information for Juniors

 

Juniors are offered two opportunities to visit and tour Washington D.C. this summer through our local cooperatives. Coastal Electric offers their Washington Youth Tour from June 14th through 19th. Interested students may see Mrs. Carter for an application. Palmetto Rural Telephone sponsors a trip May 31st through June 4th. Check out the PowerPoint presentation at www.frs.org. See Mrs. Carter in the guidance office if you are interested.

The South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities is accepting applications for 2008 Summmer Programs and the 2008-2009 Public Residential High School Year. The deadline for applications has been extended to February 20, 2008. Interested emerging artists should call Anne Tromsness at 864.282.3706 or email applynow@scgsah.state.sc.us to request applications and more information.

PSAT score reports have been distributed to all 9, 10 and 11th grade students.  Students are encouraged to visit www.collegeboard.com/quickstart to review their test results.  Use the access code provided on the score report.  A parent tutorial for understanding PSAT results was also distributed to students and can be found online as well.  [It is important that you write down your user name and password and keep in a safe place as you will need this to register for future SATs.]

The 12 hour Jantzi Test Prep course will be October 23, 9-1; October 27, 10-3; and November 2, 9-1.  Registration forms have been distributed to all juniors and seniors.  Please register by October 19th.  See Mrs. Carter for more details.

A representative from Newberry College will be in the Guidance Office on Monday, September 17 at 1:30 PM.

All Juniors should take the SAT by December.  The next opportunity to take this test will be on Saturday, October 6th.  The deadline to register is September 10th.  If you need help registering, contact Mrs. Carter in the Guidance Office. 

The PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) will be administered on Wednesday, October 17th to all 9th, 10th, and 11th graders.  The test will be administered during the school day at CPA.  Students must be present in order to take this test-there is no make-up test available.  Students who take the PSAT will receive a free personalized college planning kit online when they receive their scores. 

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.
