Class of 2024

Sept. 5, 2023

Have you ever wondered how colleges evaluate applications?  Are you confused about the difference between early action, early decision and rolling admissions?  Do you wonder if your student should apply test-optional? Sometimes the application process can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.  

Please join us for an informational webinar regarding the college application process on Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 6:30 p.m. In partnership with two admissions professionals, we will be answering these questions and reviewing the timeline for applications.  

REGISTER

After you register, Zoom will send you a personalized link to log-on the day of the webinar.  If you have any questions, please contact your student's college counselor. 

Thank you,

Mrs. Maltempi and Mrs. Ribovich

As we prepare for graduation, we need to request some information from you. In our graduation program, we list the name of every scholarship a student has received. Only the name of the scholarship is listed, not the dollar amount. Please email or deliver copies of those award letters to the Student Services Office. 

Please include all scholarship offers, even if you are not attending that awarding school. This would include merit scholarships, athletic scholarships and private scholarships. Please have these submitted by Friday, April 19, so they can be included in the graduation program. We will publicize a collective scholarship amount for the Class of 2024.  

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Maltempi or Mrs. Ribovich.
