Welcome Back Juniors!
Your junior year will be filled with great opportunities and challenging academic classes. We hope the next months are exciting, fun and fulfilling. Please keep the following in mind:- Stay focused on academics. We know you are busy with extracurricular activities and outside jobs, but you must keep your schoolwork your priority! Stay focused on academics. Your GPA counts!
- Keep an accurate calendar or planner. You will need to keep track of many things, such as testing dates (PSAT, ACT, ASVAB) and more.
- You should narrow down some ideas regarding what you are going to do after you graduate and explore those choices. Remember you can explore a university, community college, apprenticeship, or the military.
- Complete a career exploration survey if you have not. Talk to relatives, job shadow someone in a position you have an interest in, research careers on the Internet. Ask your counselor for assistance.
- Continue to develop your hobbies and interests.
