11^th  Grade Checklist

• If you are considering the military, let your counselor know and meet with the representatives when they visit PHS.  Also take the Armed Services Vocational Battery (ASVAB) test.

• Explore and visit several colleges.  Meet with College Reps that come to PHS.  Contact colleges to request information.

• Sign up to take the PSAT test in October.  Juniors who score well on the PSAT are considered for a National Merit Scholarship.

• Know the requirements of the Hathaway Scholarship Program.

• Register early for SAT or ACT college entrance exams, especially if applying for early admission or to an out-of-state college.  Many students choose to take these tests 2 or 3 times before submitting their college applications.  All Juniors will take either the ACT or WorkKeys exam in the spring, at no cost.

• Meet with your counselor to review courses.  Pay attention to graduation requirements and Hathaway Scholarship Success Curriculum requirements.

• Continue to participate in volunteer activities.

• Continue building a high school resume, keeping track of all your extracurricular activities and any awards or honors you receive.  You’ll need this information for college applications as well as scholarships.

• If you are interested in participating in college level athletics after high school, starting learning about the eligibility requirements through the NCAA at www.ncaastudent.org 

• If you are interested in attending a military academy (ex. West Point, Air Force Academy) after high school, start learning about how to apply. The Academy application process is lengthy, so students must account for enough time to ensure they are academically competitive, medically and physically qualified and have an official nomination.  The earlier an interested student begins the process the better; students can apply as early as spring of their junior year.
