Junior Program

The high school counselors are preparing to present the junior class program. The main items to be covered include credit checks for graduation, career research, ACT, NCAA Eligibility Center information, post-secondary options, and senior year preparation. All students will be given a “To Do List” for the summer. Completion of the items on the list will help make the fall of their senior year go smoothly.

MME/ACT

The Junior class has completed the State of Michigan’s MME/ACT required testing. This test was given free of charge to all current juniors. If anyone wants to retake the test, the traditional national test will continue to be available, at your expense. Students may take the test as often as they choose. It is offered every two months throughout the school year.  Go to actstudent.org to find out about testing dates and registration deadlines.

Summer Programs

Summer school will again be available here at the high school. The registration  dates are:  June 19^th and 20^th from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. The cost for each class is $150 per ½ credit. Information is in the Guidance and Counseling Office.

Announcements about summer workshops in Michigan and around the United States continue to come into our office. These provide opportunities for students to attend summer programs, in their areas of interest. Check with your counselor, if interested.

As the school year comes to a close, it is important for every student to finish up strong. Attendance is crucial to their success. Please encourage your children to take advantage of our free tutoring, which is held in the media center, after school, on Monday through Thursday. Student’s grades will improve if they attend school every day, work hard, hand in all assignments, go to tutoring and study hard for all exams. Enjoy your last month of school.
