FROM THE COUNSELING OFFICE
Counselors met with seniors through English classes August 29-31 to share information about college admissions. We look forward to helping your senior navigate this complicated process and invite them to reach out to their counselor for assistance.
Senior Parent Night is Wednesday, September 6 at 6pm in the PAC. In addition to a presentation by counselors that echoes some of what we shared with seniors, there will be a panel of admissions representatives to offer insights to the admissions process. We hope to see you there.

The Hills of Austin College Fair for students is September 26. Juniors (1st period) and Seniors (2nd period) will have access to well over 100 representatives from colleges across the country.
