Do you know how to prepare to meet the requirements for the "Heart for Ministry" program? Forms are available in the school office to turn in your community service hours as you complete them. Be sure to check with your Bible teacher or principal to make sure that the service you plan to do may be counted toward your required hours. Remember that for at least six hours per term you are required to continue participation in any extracurricular activity and for the first semester, you need to have at least 5 church related service hours and a total of 18 hours. If you do not turn in these ministry hours by December 21, your January 4 report card will show Incomplete for Bible.

Remember to register for the SAT (or ACT) twice during your junior year (Dec/Jan and May/June), and possibly again in the fall of the senior year. You can register on-line.

While considering colleges, junior students may take a day during the spring to visit, with no attendance penalty if the proper forms are filled out

College Information is available in the Cresset GUIDANCE OFFICE. 

Please see MRs. Whitley.

Have you visited the colleges you are considering? You have take time out of  classes - with no attendance penalty - to visit a college. A principal, as well as your parents, must approve the time in advance.  If college applications have not yet been mailed, continue working toward that goal. If we can help you in your decision-making, please let us know.
