Seniors will meet in a large group assembly at the beginning of the year for advisement in starting the college application process.  Each senior will receive their access to the Senior Canvas Course, which includes important information about the application process.  Following this meeting, each senior will also meet with their school counselor for an individual appointment to discuss their college/career plans following high school.  Students are highly encouraged to bring questions to this meeting.
