NCAA

We recommend that any student interested in college athletics meet with their Guidance Counselor in the spring of their junior year or within the first two weeks of the beginning of their senior year to review their transcript and NCAA initial eligibility criteria. Our experience is that students who wait until the spring of their senior year or until after graduation face an increased likelihood of experiencing difficulties with the NCAA. Please visit the NCAA website to download the forms needed at NCAA Clearinghouse Online.

 

Community Service/Career Exploration

Don't forget every student needs 20 hours of community service and 20 hours of career exploration hours to graduate.  If you need help finding either please contact the guidance department or Mary Ann Gaschnig in the school to career office for some great career exploration ideas!
