Warm regards,

The HPHS Counseling and Postsecondary Counseling Team

Class of '25 - It was wonderful to be together at our Home on Vine on 11/18/23 and begin to explore the postsecondary process with all of you. Both the postsecondary counselor presentation and the counselor presentation, along with the handout are posted to our PSC website under Programs in the Information for Juniors section. If you were not able to attend, you should review the slides as the information shared is pertinent to your post high school planning with key information and resources shared that all juniors are expected to know.

As we mentioned, junior postsecondary appointments begin January 18, 2024 and you will be able to find out who your Postsecondary Counselor is, by checking your Maia account when appointments open on January 10, 2024. If you have any individual reasons to request a specific postsecondary counselor for your student, parents can email those requests to Jen Ginopolis (jginopolis@dist113.org) by December 6, 2023 for consideration. To begin to explore and use the tools in MaiaLearning, please watch this tutorial video located on our website.

We look forward to working with you and supporting your postsecondary planning!
