Graduation is just around the corner! However, this is not the time to get a case of "senioritis", it is the time to prepare for college. So seniors, here are some suggestions on what you need to be thinking about in your last semester as a high school student.

• Take or Retake the ACT/SAT -you want to get the highest score possible.


• Apply to ALL of the colleges that interest you.

• Attend extra curricular activities and volunteer in your community.


• Compose a resume (this is where all the extra curricular and community service will benefit you)!
