  16. Junior Year is ESSENTIAL to the college process!! • This is a great time for juniors to begin thinking about what they want out of the college process. • Encourage them to begin researching colleges as they dream. • Visiting colleges as a junior is extremely important to the process of determining which schools/types of schools feel like a good fit.

  18. Four Important Goals for Juniors • Strive for the best possible grades. • Choose an appropriately challenging senior course load. • Visit colleges/universities before senior year. • Have two standardized test scores (ACT/SAT) by the end of junior year. • ACT is a graduation requirement. • Those interested in Governor’s Scholars should take the September 14th or October 26th ACT and/or the October 5th SAT.
