Today in class we met in the forum to discuss dour high school careers with the guidance councilors. They covered many different aspects of our high school life. We learned how to average our GPA and how many credits we need in each school category. We learned about different aspects colleges require for students wanting to attend a certain college. We then asked any questions we had that regarded anything with graduating and coarse credits. All of the information we learned today can be found on the Arapahoe web page.
