HELLO ECE!

Count Day is Wednesday, October 5, 2022. Count Day is when all public schools in Michigan tally the number of students attending their schools. Count information is critical to districts because each student translates into state funding support for your school. Let's be present and on time!

Incentive

Students earn a free dress pass for 10/6/22. Breast Cancer Awareness Theme.

We believe there is a College for everyone We work toward changing the systems and the myth that learning stops after high school. Our goal is to have 100% of our senior's complete college applications. Seniors will complete a total of 9 applications.

3 Match
3 Safety
3 Reach

This process helps you rank schools and weigh out your options, based on location, SAT scores, or GPA. A reach school is a college where the student's test scores are below the 25th percentile of test scores for students admitted by the college. A match school is a college or university where the student's academic performance falls within the range of academic performance of the school's typical freshman class and safety is a 90%+ chance of admission.

Students who complete the application requirements will be eligible to attend the Haunted House and Apple Orchard field experience.
