Things to think about!
High school is an exciting time! We are surrounded by fantastic high schools both public and private, but they are each unique in their individual strengths and qualities. Do your homework. Ask questions. Where does your child feel at home? What are their career goals and who can best provide the path for that? Colleges want to see rigorous course loads but also good grades(3.5+ unweighted) and plenty of involvement in school activities and community service.
Our local catholic high schools are extremely generous with student aid and scholarships- please consider continuing your child's catholic education!!!
