Class of 2023 College Application Bootcamp - Thursday, August 25 from 10-1 at HHS

-


Attention, Class of 2023: 

We are thrilled to announce our third annual College Application Bootcamp for students in the Class of 2023 on August 25, 2022 from 10 am - 1 pm at HHS (in-person). School counselors will be hosting sessions on topics including:

  • filling out the Common Application
  • financial aid/scholarships
  • brainstorming ideas for the essay
  • the nitty gritty of Scoir (our new application management system replacing Naviance).

More detailed descriptions of the sessions will be sent out closer to the event date. No pre-registration is required. Students can attend as many or as few sessions as they would like. Please note that we will also be offering similar sessions during DSB on dates to be announced in September and October, so if you are unable to attend this event, there will be other opportunities later this fall. 

Other forms and valuable resources can be located on the HHS School Counseling website. 

Once we are back at school, feel free to make an appointment with your school counselor by clicking on the counselor's name in the contact section at the bottom of the main webpage. 

We look forward to working with you this year and supporting you throughout this process!

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer break!
