Enter ACT Test Prep
You are officially an upperclassman! Its time to start preparing for life after high school. Here are some things you should be thinking about throughout your junior year at West High School.
GET TO COLLEGE CHECKLIST:
  • Enroll in college test prep courses.
  • Register for the PSAT in the fall. (Scores count for National Merit Scholar consideration.)
  • Take the SAT or ACT in the spring.
  • Use Career Cruising to research careers of interest to you, and explore post-secondary institutions where you can gain the required skills. Some free sites for students to set up an account for scholarship information are www.fastweb.com and myscholly.com.
  • Begin searching for scholarships to help you pay for postsecondary education. Some deadlines come earlier than you might think, so don’t delay. 
  • Plan visits to the campuses of colleges you are interested in attending.
  • Save for post-secondary education. 
  • Visit with your counselor to make sure your academics are on track for entrance into your selected college.
