Class of 2027 & Families,

As you begin your final year of high school, now is the time to start planning for life after graduation. Whether your plans include attending a two- or four-year college, entering the workforce, pursuing a skilled trade or apprenticeship, or serving in the military, thoughtful preparation will help make your transition successful.

Please take a few minutes to review our updated Post-Secondary Planning Guide and College Application Timeline. These resources provide important information on application deadlines, standardized testing, financial aid, scholarships, letters of recommendation, college visits, and other key milestones throughout your senior year.

We encourage you and your family to use these guides as planning tools and to stay on track throughout the application process. If you have questions or would like assistance exploring your post-secondary options, please schedule a meeting with your school counselor early in the school year.

We look forward to supporting you as you prepare for the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Make your senior year a successful one!

Mrs. Carnicelli
Ms. Bergen
