From Mrs. Myrick
Juniors: If you have not already done so, please complete your After Grad Packet and email it to me ASAP. Once I have the completed packet, we can have our first official college meeting together. If the AG Packet is not completed by spring break, you will start receiving emails from me weekly about the need to complete it. No one wants all those emails flooding their inbox!
Junior Parents: Please complete the parent section of the After Grad Packet and be encouraging your child to get that turned into me as soon as possible :)
As always, reach out or stop by my office with any questions!
