News from the Guidance Department

Seniors and Parents/Guardians:

The guidance counselors visited senior English classes last week to discuss postsecondary planning, with a special emphasis on the application process for four-year colleges.  Below, please find the link to the “College Application Handbook for Senior Year” that was discussed and emailed to the students.  It contains a typical timeline for senior year, SAT/ACT dates and deadlines, detailed instructions on the Common App and Naviance, and information about financial aid.

Also, here is the link to the “College Application for Junior Year” that was given to the Class of 2018 last spring.  This contains FAQ’s about SAT/ACT testing, tips about college tours and interviews, a preview of the college essay topics on the Common App, information about the NCAA and other college sports/activities, and more!

Message from the PTO

High School Open House

Hull High School’s annual Open House will be held on Wednesday, September 13 from 7 pm to 9 pm. This is an excellent opportunity to follow your student’s schedule so you can meet all their teachers, learn about the curriculum, and become familiar with the expectation for each course. 

This year we also have a special feature, Hidden in Plain Sight, sponsored the Hull Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Addiction.  Parents are invited to search a staged student bedroom to educate themselves about signs of alcohol and drug use that may be “hidden in plain sight.” The program will include 60+ props that could potentially signal substance abuse. Emerging local drug use trends will be highlighted. The goal of this initiative is to enlighten parents and to encourage them to have honest and candid discussions with their children about substance abuse.

I look forward to meeting you this coming Wednesday.
