Half-Way There!!!
Now that you are half-way through
your high school career, it is important to step-up your game. You
still have 14 more possible credits and each class you take impacts
your GPA. Core classes impact your academic average, which is important
for scholarships and college admission. Work on a plan to make your
last 2 years of high school your best. As always, please feel
free to drop by the Counselor's Office if you have any questions or
concerns. I hope you have a great 11th grade year!
