Once students move into their sophomore year, they are assigned a dedicatedCollege Counselor based on their last name. This person will work with them all three years and guide them through the entire college application journey.

The Academic & Learning Support team is here to help! PowerLab is a time and space for students to receive extra assistance from teachers, peer tutors, and academic counselors who are there every day for supportive conversations and work sessions. PowerLab takes place on Mondays through Thursdays from 2:45 to 3:45 PM in the library (It begins 10 minutes after the last class on any day.) PowerStart takes place Mondays through Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:10 AM before school. Students can opt into PowerLab at any time. Students can also be referred to PowerLab by teachers or parents. If you are interested in referring your student to PowerLab, please have a conversation with your child regarding this opportunity first! We will then work to connect the student and teacher during PowerLab. The form for referral can be found here.
