Welcome Back!
It is hard to believe that the summer is already over! As the air turns crisp, thoughts turn to new classes, new books, homework, college applications and essays. For those seniors in the throws of the college application process, the Guidance Office has some resources that will prove helpful for you.
First, there is a Senior Student/Parent Night on Thursday, September 19th at 6pm to discuss everything you need to know about applying, the common application, letters of recommendation and colleges visiting HTHS. It is strongly encouraged that BOTH students and parents attend to learn the process of how to get transcripts sent to colleges and about the application process in general.
Second, this year the Guidance Office is hosting EIGHT College Essay Writing Workshops. These sessions are for seniors only and will be held during the school day for the students to meet with various Admission Counselors to learn about what should be included in a college essay and what should NOT be included in a college essay from the people reading the essays! The workshops are scheduled each week between now and the end of October to accommodate when students start writing their essay. No need to attend more than one, though students can with teacher permission. The following schedule is below and students need to sign into Naviance and print a pass in order to attend.
