One of the best ways to get ready for graduation (yes, it will happen before you know it!) is to schedule a Junior Meeting with Mr. Kulp, our school's guidance counselor. A Junior Meeting consists of the individual student, the parent and the guidance counselor meeting for about an hour or so. During this time, a junior and a parents will accomplish the following tasks:
- discover what classes are left to graduate
- build a GAFutures.org account (use this to apply to college, send transcripts, apply for HOPE and Financial Aid)
- discover what your official HOPE GPA is while there is still time to bring it up if it is too low
- learn what admissions testing needs to be done this year or next and how to register for them
- regardless of what pathway a student is on, mapping out the routes to get to a career destination will be explored
- learn strategies for scholarship applications and where to find scholarships
- get to know your school counselor better, as you may need a recommendation later on
These meetings can be scheduled as early as 7 am, throughout the school day and after school. To get on the calendar, please email Mike Kulp at mike.kulp@socialcircleschools.org.
