Seniors-The FINAL Semester

SENIORS!

Second semester seems to fly for everyone at West Mifflin Area High School, but for our seniors it seems to move at the speed of light.  No matter what plans our seniors have after they leave WMAHS, there are many responsibilities that they have during their last semester in high school, on top of keeping up with their studies, in order for them to make a smooth transition into the “real world”.  Starting in mid January after their Senior Project Presentations, Seniors who  have decided to attend college or any other post secondary school should start filling out the FAFSA with their parents (Financial Aid Night January 29^th @ WMAHS 6:30 in the LGI Room), searching for scholarships with help from our guidance website at www.wmasd.org, and turning any scholarship monies which they have been awarded so that we can recognize their achievements at our senior awards convocation on May 21^st.   Students who are joining the military after high school should be meeting with their recruitment officer regularly to make sure everything is in order to begin basic training. Students who have decided to join the work force should be putting out applications and working on their resumes.  Any senior who is still unsure about what their plans are after high school are strongly encouraged to contact their guidance counselor immediately so that we can assist with their future plans and goals.   Later in the semester, the guidance department will be in touch with seniors regarding information about items such as diplomas final transcripts, and what they have ultimately decided on doing after graduation.  As always, the guidance department is always available to answer any question that you may have regarding plans after high school for your senior son or daughter.
