Seniors/Senior Parents:

All Seniors must complete  the Senior Survey on Naviance Family Connection by the end of May at the latest. However, in order to have a graduation pennant displayed in the high school lobby, seniors must complete the survey by May 17th. We must have student permission to post their pennant and this is granted through the survey.

Community Service must also be completed as a graduation requirement, and students planning to participate in the SEE Project must have their hours submitted prior to beginning the project. Senior Surveys should also be completed before starting the SEE Project.
