Hints About High School Your Grades Matter Top 10 % Automatic Acceptance Into a Texas Public University- (UT is 7%) Colleges/Scholarships care about what quartile Challenge Yourself Follow Your Degree Plan When in doubt, take a CTE course Try something NEW Start Thinking College Grades Matter Visit Colleges- On vacation, or online, and especially Junior and Senior Year

Things I’ve learned in High School Art can wait- Especially if you are not taking Athletics past 9 th Grade If you are showing for FFA, you need to take an Ag class (Prin of Ag) Get involved in a group- Groups have dues The A/B Day schedules makes the day go FAST!!!!! GET YOUR MAKE-UP WORK Keep up with community service- NHS is right around the corner Break ROCKS! General Assembly on Monday’s
