Monthly College Counseling Update: April 2022

Season of Celebrations for the Class of 2022!

We’ve reached the end of one journey and the beginning of another as the majority of seniors have made decisions about where they will continue their educations. About 70 seniors attended our second College Counseling Coffee during Work Period on Tuesday, sharing information about their spring break visits and raving about their college choices. It is indeed a wonderful time of year.
Because of AP test conflicts, we will move our typical May 1st College Decision Day Celebration to Friday, May 6th. Seniors will gather in the afternoon for photo booth opportunities, Mr. Softie ice cream, thank you card writing, and our traditional Saint Norbert Hall steps photo of all of the students in their college apparel. 

Congratulations to all seniors and their families. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey and best of luck at your new homes. We are all blessed!

One recommendation to all seniors as you celebrate your accomplishments and futures over the next two months - show appreciation to those that have guided and shepherded you along the way. Your family, your teachers, your coaches, and your friends have all been a part of your successes. Bring them into your happiness, recognize their love and contributions, and thank them for all that they have contributed.
