Juniors- I Want to Meet with Each One of You and Your Parents!

Students who meet one-on-one
with a school counselor are nearly seven times more likely to complete a FAFSA.
A recent NACAC (National Association for College Admission Counseling) study confirmed that students who meet one-on-one with a school counselor are significantly more likely to attend college and apply for federal financial aid.

Study findings show that 12th graders who talked about their future plans with a school counselor were:

•    6.8 times more likely to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
•    3.2 times more likely to attend college
•    Two times more likely to attend a bachelor’s degree program

That is my goal for the students at Social Circle High School.  Everybody has a plan.  Everybody makes the most of this life they have been gifted with.  I am going to try and accomplish this by meeting with each junior and his or her parent before the last day of school.  All 150 of them....

As you can tell, this is going to be a daunting task, but you can help me by emailing me at (mike.kulp@socialcircleschools.org) to get your appointment on the books.  We will cover a ton of information including graduation requirement check up, college admission test scores, you will see how to check your student's HOPE GPA, and a ton more!  Let's get on it.
