Dear Class of 2025 Students & Families,
We hope that everyone is doing well! As we come closer to the start of the new school year, there are a  few things we would like to remind Seniors about.  By this point, you should have a post secondary plan (college, trade school, military, workforce, apprenticeship etc...).  Mrs. Carnicelli spoke with Seniors about your plans and provided a framework for gathering information over the summer to prepare you for your Senior exit meetings in the Fall.  Here are some activities that may help you prepare to meet your post secondary goals:
 
Workforce and Apprenticeship
- Job Shadow
- Write a resume and cover letter (use Naviance to help with this)
- Interview someone in the field
- Use Naviance to search and explore different careers
 
College and Trade School
- Visit over the summer
- Participate in Open House Events
- Bring your transcript for review to ensure you have all the courses you need to apply
- Use Naviance to Super Match (discussed during class and individual meetings)
- Use Naviance to search careers and pathways
- Complete a resume
- Input honors/awards into Naviance to prepare for applications
- Decide if Early Decision and Early Action are of interest
- Sign up for SAT or ACT
 
Military
- Meet with a recruiter to discuss details
- Prepare for the ASVAB
- Interview someone in the field
- Look into ROTC programs at colleges
