See Mrs. Croker in Guidance for more details.




  • Seniors, Be sure to let Mrs. Croker know when you’ve received an acceptance letter or notification for colleges/universities or technical colleges so we can post on our main office board.




  • Scholarships applications are coming in and are available in the guidance office. They are also listed on the announcements. See Mrs. Morgan for more information.



  • Seniors: Scholarship/Applications/Letters of Recommendations

The Guidance Office will do everything possible to assist you in meeting the deadlines for college applications, scholarship applications and transcript requests. Please note that all requests are handled in a timely fashion. It is imperative that our office is notified well in advance in order to help meet your deadlines. Best practice is to give your counselor and/ or teachers at least a 2 weeks notice for a recommendation letter or scholarship application request. A brief resume should be submitted for a recommendation letter. Scheduling an appointment will ensure that all the necessary paperwork is completed in time. Last minute transcript requests may require that the student and or parent overnight an official transcript.
