HHS offers a number of systems of support for students and families navigating the world of post-secondary education, from preparing for college with current coursework through finding the right fit school and going through the application process.
The first step is to start looking at schools that appeal to you. Take a look at majors and classes offered, the size of the school, entrance requirements, and how those things align with your vision. HHS counselors are happy to work with you though this process.
While more colleges continue to waive standardized testing requirements, many still require ACT or SAT exam scores as part of the application process. The ACT will be administered at HHS each spring to every junior, at no cost to the student. If a student would like to take the test an additional time, they can register to take it at an external testing facility.
Students can additionally participate in opportunities for earning college credit while still in high school utilized several of the Dual Enrollment opportunities available at HHS, such as Advanced Placement (AP), Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP), and Transcipted courses through Fox Valley Technical College.
If you have questions or would like help with any part of this educational planning, we encourage you to make an appointment with your counselor. Additionally, parents are encouraged to attend the Sophomore Planning conferences with their student and their student’s counselor during their 10th grade year.
