Now that we've entered 2026, this year's juniors need to start thinking about their upcoming Senior year!
ILHS guidance counselors Mr. Tuttle and Mrs. Alice Darrough met recently with members of the Class of 2027 to get scheduled for 12th grade.
Juniors received their scheduling sheets and course booklets. They'll begin meeting individually with counselors starting this week to set up classes and programs for Fall 2026. Students must bring to the counselor meeting their course registration booklet and a registration sheet signed by a parent.
Whether a student is considering attending a 4-year or 2-year college, joining the military or entering the workforce after graduation, the counselors explained that this is a critical time for making decisions. Mr. Tuttle encouraged the juniors to schedule a few college or company visits and suggested talking with their parents about classes and options for next school year, including College Credit Plus classes and work/study opportunities.
Mrs. Darrough also advised students to be aware of college application deadlines that may fall over the summer or early next fall. In addition, all ILHS juniors will be taking the ACT in late February during school hours.
Counselors will be meeting with underclassmen and 8th graders in the coming weeks, as well, to work on their schedules for next year.
