<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">College can be the best time of your life. But paying for college isn’t easy. In fact, the cost of college can make some students afraid to even try. That’s why we created the CollegeCounts Scholarship: to provide funding assistance to Alabama high school students who demonstrate a financial need and a genuine desire to make a difference in what’s next. If you’re thinking about enrolling at an Alabama college or university, don’t let funds get in the way. The CollegeCounts Scholarship might just be for you!</span></div>

This Tuesday, April 19th, our 11th grade students will take the ACT in the band room. Testing will start at 8:00 and last until 12:30 (approx). I visited the 11th graders today to pass out the free College Planner from <a href="http://potentialmagazine.com/">Potential Magazine</a> that we received at College Night on Tuesday at Jeff State. Our Career Coach, Kim Benson, hopes that we can have the group that presented back again soon.<br />
<br />
I shared with the Juniors about the importance of the ACT and information we heard at the meeting last night. The presenters discussed that 80% of scholarship money comes from Merit awards from schools. These are awards based on GPA and ACT score. An ACT score can help you with a full ride to institutions in our state and beyond. Students have been preparing during acceleration for the ACT, but please encourage them to study at home and do their best Tuesday. The difference in ONE point on their score can be thousands of dollars of tuition!<br />
<br />
Please call the office if you have any questions. :)Christina Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14126728173480314564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791200246071084945.post-27325351080995651322016-03-22T10:46:00.002-05:002016-03-22T10:48:09.111-05:00Mock Interviews/Resume TemplateSeniors:<br />
Mock Interviews will take place during 1st and 4th periods tomorrow. Dual Enrollment students who want to participate will go after Mrs. Price's 4th period is finished. <br />
Remember:<br />
1. Have a copy of your resume. If for some reason you do not have one - you can use this easy resume template (borrowed from Simsbury High School) Click on the blue PDF link in the middle of the page.<br />
<span style="color: #006621; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="http://www.simsbury.k12.ct.us/page.cfm?p=3978">http://www.simsbury.k12.ct.us/page.cfm?p=3978</a></span></span><br />
It will load gray - you need to highlight and change to black. Modify as needed. <br />
2. Dress Appropriately (Dress for Success!)<br />
3. Remember to make eye contact and shake hands. Wait until you are asked to be seated.<br />
4. This will be a generic interview - not job specific.<br />
<br />
Feel free to message me on Remind if you have questions. <br />
