Seniors, LAST CALL, if you wish to be celebrated at the Career Signing Day, the deadline to submit information if you received a full-time job offer from your co-op employer is Thursday, April 30th.

This year we will be introducing a new event to celebrate our graduating seniors and the partnerships that help launch their careers. On Tuesday, May 12th at 1:00 PM in the St. Georges Lecture Hall, we will host our first Senior Signing Event.

This event will be similar to a college athletic signing day, but instead of committing to a sports team, we will recognize seniors who are committing to continue working with their co-op employers after graduation in either full-time or part-time positions.

The goal of this event is to celebrate:
• Our students entering the workforce
• The employers who have invested in their development
• The strength of our CTE programs and industry partnerships

Students who will be recognized are those whose co-op employers plan to continue employing them after graduation.

If you are a senior who is going to work with your co-op employer after graduation, please complete This Form by Thursday, April 30th.

What is senior recognition!? Seniors will dress up, have their last senior class celebration before graduation. All seniors will go up on stage and have their name called and get their career certificate (exemplary career students will get a medal too). All seniors who are participating in the senior rec ceremony must be at school on Tuesday, May 5th in the lecture hall for a senior class meeting at 9:45am. Save the date now and plan to take off work to be here!

FAQ about Senior Recognition:

What is senior recognition? It is a ceremony to honor our seniors in a more personalized way than the formal graduation ceremony.

How will I know if my senior is getting an award or not?

You won’t. Mostly all of the awards spanning academics, athletics, service, and career are surprises. All seniors will go up on stage and have their name called to receive their career certificate.

All seniors and juniors who plan to drive to school must register their vehicle before parking on campus. Please note that vehicle registration and parking passes must be renewed each school year. Once registration is complete, students will receive a new parking tag along with an assigned parking space. Students are not permitted to drive to school if the following steps have not been completed:

Print & Complete the SG Vehicle Registration Form ( Click Here to Access)
Bring your completed Registration Form and Required Documents (Vehicle Registration, Proof of Insurance, & Driver's License) to the Main Office for final approval
Obtain your parking pass and locate your assigned parking space (students cannot request specific parking spaces)

Driving to school without properly registering vehicles and/or parking in non-assigned parking spaces may result in a loss of driving privileges and/or disciplinary action.

Do you need a Letter of Recommendation? Click here to learn the proper process....

If you are requesting a letter of recommendation from a teacher, please do not just put them down as a reference without talking to them first.

You should:

1. Actually ask your teachers or coaches to complete the letters of recommendations- not just send them electronic requests from the common app-they are easy to overlook in a crowded inbox and we do not want to overlook them, we want to support you.

AND!

2. Provide your reference with personal information about you by completing the recommendation profile. Complete this template and provide your reference with that information so that they can write you a quality, detailed, and personal recommendation that will stand out to colleges.
