October is a big month for our seniors. First off, FTHS school counselors are meeting with each of their seniors for a 1:1 meeting to discuss their plans and support needed for their college applications. On October 7th, all seniors will meet in Spirito Hall for a presentation on important deadlines and details for their final year in high school. The information shared with seniors will be summarized in a Senior Parent Info Night on October 10th at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom. During the week of October 14th, we will have college reps on campus to help students navigate their college applications correctly. Here is the schedule and sign up form:

• Oct 14th - Personal Insight Questions for UC Application Workshop 8:30 a.m. (1st period)
• October 14th - Common Application Workshop at 1:45
• Oct 15th - Cal State Application Workshop at 11:55
• Oct 17th - UC Application Workshop at 11:55

For answers to questions regarding college applications, students can refer to the college application flowchart for steps and procedures. In addition, we encourage students to follow this month-by-month planning calendar to stay on track with important deadlines. FTHS counselors are available to meet with students during FIRE for college application assistance.

During the week of September 2nd, our FTHS administration and school counselors presented "Podzentations" which is a brief overview of FTHS rules and expectations on our campus for 9th graders. Students learned more about our Renaissance program, athletic eligibility, our cell phone policy and so much more. The presentation was followed by a quick Q/A to answer any lingering questions.

It's the season for college rep visits. Please visit our school's college/career website for more details on which colleges will be stopping by FTHS. In addition, students can find a listing of local scholarship and community service opportunities.
