Steps To Success
- Decide Who You Want To Be And Set Goals:
It will be a shame if during your senior year you decide to take your classes seriously. Instead, set goals for yourself from the beginning of high school and hold yourself accountable. Your grades will affect your college admission, your auto insurance rates, current and future employment, and other opportunities. - Get To Know Your Teachers And Your Counselor:
They will provide the details of how to be successful, and the better you know them the easier it will be to discuss challenges and concerns. - Check Progressbook Frequently:
If you are missing work, turn it in. If your grade has slipped, ask the teacher what can be done to improve. - Take Control Of High School:
Know the requirements for athletic eligibility, graduation requirements, GPA, class rank. Know when things are due and turn them in on time! - Ask For Help:
If you are struggling, ask the teacher for assistance. Other assistance can be found by attending Study Tables on Wednesday after school, peer tutoring, or adult tutors. Use your free time throughout the day wisely. - Start Planning For Your Future Now:
You do not need to know what you are going to do for the rest of your life in high school, but you should begin narrowing down your options. Take advantage of talking to people in fields that you are interested in pursuing. This will help inform your choices when selecting courses and colleges.
