Time management
Ø
The Lyceum is an
adjustment for many students. Parents are strongly encouraged to help their
student plan a routine for study, and “budget” the available hours after school
to their studies. Some flexibility will be required in the “budget” as demands
shift from one subject to the next, but the most important part is setting a
routine and sticking to it!
·
Building a “resume”
Ø
Planning for the
future as an adult starts in high school. Each student should keep a record of
every school activity, club, sport, community service, and job he/she has been
involved with, in addition to a log of the awards he/she may have earned along
the way.
·
Volunteering
Ø
Colleges and
employers look at volunteering as a sign of maturity, and a good indicator of
future performance at school or on the job.
Ø
Some ideas where
students can look for volunteer opportunities:
–
Their church
–
Local youth
organizations;
–
Any non-profit
–
The Salvation Army
–
Senior citizens
centers
–
Hospitals
–
After-school
tutoring
–
Any non-profit
organization
·
Scholarships &
Awards
Ø
Students should
begin the process of seeking scholarships in their junior year. Bear in mind
colleges aren’t the only institutions offering scholarships. Scholarships are
offered to prospective students at the high school every year from the National
Honor Society in addition to many other institutions. Many community and
association scholarships are announced through the high school. Check with
guidance to learn when postings will go up.
Ø
Recognition awards
are available from the Lyceum to seniors for scholastic, community, and athletic
merit. They are announced in May.
·
PSATs , SATs,
Advance Placement Testing, ACT
Ø
PSATs are given to
sophomores and juniors, and are required for students seeking a scholarship
opportunity from the National Honor Society. SATs and Advanced Placement tests
are announced at the high school in the fall and spring. These tests are
considered important in many college admissions.
Ø
The ACT test can be
sent instead of the SAT II, and is believed by some college search consultants
to be a better test because of its greater simplicity and clarity. Look on
www.act.org to find out when and where the ACT will be given, It typically
follows the SATs by one week.
