• Juniors will need to meet with their counselors to review their credits.  (Counselors will call them in or they can schedule an appointment.)  If a parent wants to join their student in this meeting, then they may schedule an appointment to meet with the counselor and their student.  Parental participation is optional.  To make an appointment, parents should email their student’s counselor (preferred) or call the Counseling Office at 770-806-3795. Parents can start booking appointments AFTER Jan. 26.
• Juniors should take the SAT/ACT this semester. 
• Start looking for what you want to do for a career and what you would like to major in for college.
  
  
• Pick several colleges and/or universities that you can apply to in the fall of your senior year.

• Stay active or join clubs/activities to build your resume.  Keep track of your activities, awards, etc.
