Information for Seniors & Juniors
SENIORS
One of the first things you should be working on is APPLYING to your college, university, military branch, or trade school. Most schools will use the Apply Texas application or the Common App. Please check your school's admission website for more details.
Once you apply, let Mrs. Simper know so she can send your transcript to where you just applied.
Don't forget about using your 2 college days! Students have two copies of the form per the Senior/Student meeting. If you need an additional copy, please see Mrs. Richter.
TSI scores: I will administer the TSIA2 when you are ready.
