Comprehensive College Planning Checklist

After you have looked through the Comprehensive College Planning Checklist take some time to view the other resources that our team has assembled.

It is critical that as a High School student, you understand that life does not begin when you receive your high school diploma or when you graduate from college. These events are just milestones and they are evidence that your life has in fact, already begun. Before you’re knee deep into the process of selecting and visiting the universities that you are interested in attending, sit down and chart out your life course. It sounds tedious, but it is the only way that you can ensure that you are headed in the direction of your goals.

Keep your big picture dreams in mind when charting out your smaller and more immediate goals. This vision is made up of thousands of smaller goals. You can typically assume that if you want to succeed at bringing the larger picture into focus, it will take years of achieving smaller goals to make this happen.

At Rock Creek Community Academy we want to help you realize your dreams. Please use the resources provided and feel free to contact us to schedule a time to me with our team and discuss how we can help you reach your goals.
