Mr. Jim Montague Program Director Guidance & Support Services

Choose courses with an eye to college admission requirements…… 3 years of science for all and 4 or more for others. Make your final high school years your best. Take on challenges that are reasonable – don’t overdo it. Meet with your Guidance Counselor as early as possible.

There is a limit of three A.P. courses that any student may take. Students who feel an exception should be made must complete the online application and submit by February 20 th. They will be notified by February 27 th.

Maintaining good health, both emotional and physical, is critical. Stress management is important. Getting adequate sleep is too. Effective time management is a skill that must be developed. If you need help, see your Guidance Counselor.
