Sophomore Season! Sherry Iyamu and Quoc Tran are in their scheduled one-on-one sophomore meeting. Iyamu reviews courses Tran has taken and offers recommendations for his junior year. “Do you have any questions about junior year?” Iyamu said.

Counselors have begun holding end-of-year meetings with every sophomore to prepare them for their junior year, running from February 21st to March 5th. These one-on-one sessions will cover topics such as  GPA, class rank, course selection, and whether summer school is needed. The counselors will also discuss the possibility of graduating early and answer any questions the student may have. Students are encouraged to give their best effort during their junior year, as it plays a critical role in college applications during their senior year. Additionally, students have the opportunity to adjust their schedules if they decide to pursue a different path.
