Essay Writing Help: If you need help with your college essay or resume, sign up for an appointment with Mrs. Staed, our new writing coach. All essay help will go through Mrs. Staed. Sign up HERE!

Mrs. Sumpter (last names A-Le) and Mrs. Carr (last names Li-Z)
College Rep Visits:

College Fairs:College Fairs are a great way to begin to learn about schools and what they have to offer. Representatives from colleges stand at a table ready and willing to provide information about their school and answer any questions. Students can walk from table to table to meet with the reps.
