Steps for Each Year of High School

Meet with your guidance counselor to ensure you are on target with your core academic requirements
- Discuss your GPA and class rank
Schedule yourself to take the SAT and/or the ACT
- Consider using a study guide prior to the exam
Stay active in your extra-curricular activities
- Consider volunteering for a community activity or event
Look for scholarship, grant and financial aid opportunities now
- The more you look, the more you will find

Sign up for our business/professional mentor program
- Whether you want to be a doctor, lawyer, airline pilot or a business owner, one way to find out if it is for you is to talk with people already in that field.
- Don't wait until you are already in college. Too many students change majors or schools because they did not know what career they wanted to pursue. This causes many students to drop out.
