We bid a fond farewell to our graduates as we report some of the information regarding their college placement. During the course of the school year, our office processed 1,468 transcripts for college admissions, and an additional 605 mid-year transcripts for our seniors.

Of the 203 graduates in the Class of 2013, 59% will be attending public colleges and universities and 56% will be staying in-state to go to school. In all, the Class of 2013 will be attending 77 different colleges and universities in 25 different states and the District of Columbia. The total scholarship worth of this class is $24,282,745.32.

Virtual Campus Tours
Having the opportunity to tour a college campus can really enhance your daughter’s perspective and ability to see herself at a particular college or university. When it's not possible to visit every campus she is interested in, there is now an online solution to that problem. Visit the website for virtual guided tours of thousands of campuses across the country.
