INTRODUCTION

The College/Post-High School Guide, prepared by the Tamalpais High School District Counseling Staff and College/Career Specialists, is designed to assist juniors and seniors with their college/post-high school planning. We intend to help you and your parents be aware of the procedures you should follow to ensure thoughtful and effective college/post-high school decision making. To make the best use of this guide, you should read it from cover to cover.

Use the calendar. Go through it and circle important dates that apply to you.

College planning can be an educational adventure. It should be a time of personal growth, self-understanding, and personal goal setting. Your counselor and the college/career specialist will work with you every step of the way as you ask yourself important questions. They will help you consider appropriate colleges that will meet your academic and personal needs.

We will help you as much as we can, but the primary responsibility rests with you because it is you who are going to college. You must conduct your own career and college search, arrange your schedule of tests, send for and submit applications, arrange recommendations, and ask to have transcripts sent on a timely basis

Keep this guide handy and refer to it often, this year as a junior and next year as a senior. Enter the necessary information, test scores, etc. on the work sheets in the Appendix.

Your senior year and graduation are the culmination of twelve years of hard work. We look forward to working with you on a very exciting project — planning for college or other post-high school plans.
