School Counselors:

Attention Families in grades 9-11!

Grades 9-11! Course selection for the 2024-2025 school year is here, and counselor meetings start next week. You'll get individual guidance during seminars or English classes to choose your electives (remember, core courses are based on teacher recommendations, your preferences, and any support needs you may have). Some electives have prerequisites or need teacher sign-off, so check the Curriculum Guide for details. Dreaming of tech immersion or early college credit? Our dual credit program at Lake County Tech Campus and College of Lake County opens doors - explore options in the guide too! Any questions? Your counselor's always happy to help navigate the exciting journey ahead! Contact: Kim Forystek (kforystek@d187.org)
