Juniors interested in taking the fall PSAT/NMSQT on October 27 can register HERE by Friday, 10/2 at 3:00 p.m. This is an OPTIONAL test to prepare for the SAT. It is also the qualifying test for National Merit Scholarship consideration. Cost is $20. The late test registration window runs from 10/2 to noon on 10/9 at a cost of $30. No registrations will be accepted after the late deadline. 

Seniors/Senior Parents: Here is the slideshow from the fall senior counseling meeting. Please review the information in the presentation and utilize this senior year planning checklist for information relevant to your last year of high school. It is very important that you complete the senior survey in order to inform your counselor if you would like to schedule an individual meeting to review post-high plans and ask questions. 

Seniors: Are you planning to attend college next year but are overwhelmed at the prospect of starting your applications? Do the schools you are planning on applying to use the Common Application but it seems confusing? No worries! We are here to help! The counseling office will be hosting a Common App help session on Monday, September 21 during Advisory. Seniors will be able to get an overview of the Common App, create their own accounts, and get answers to some of the frequently asked questions that arise. If you are interested in attending, please complete this form by noon on Friday, September 18. 

Seniors: Each year, the local chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) invites Zeeland East and Zeeland West to participate in the DAR Good Citizen Program and Scholarship Contest. This program is intended to encourage and reward seniors who possess the qualities of good citizenship: dependability, service, leadership, patriotism. If you are interested in being considered for this honor, please complete this form.   For the chance to win at least $500, students will be required to prepare a resume and write an essay.  The deadline for consideration is noon on September 23.
