We just returned to school from break and already ILHS upperclassmen are preparing for next school year!
ILHS guidance counselor Mrs. Alice Darrough (formerly Miss Weygandt) met recently with members of the Class of 2026 to get scheduled for 12th grade.
Juniors received their scheduling sheets and course booklets. They'll begin meeting individually with Mrs. Darrough and Mr. Tuttle starting this week to set up classes and programs for Fall 2025. 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. Darrough 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.
She 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 on February 25th 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.
