2019 Course Selection Assemblies Recap

The Burlington High School Guidance Department met with grades 9, 10 and 11 to discuss the course selection process and the 2019/2020 Program of Studies. Please click here to view the information  presented to students. Also, on the right hand side of this blog, please find the box titled " Program of Studies" for information in regard to the program of studies and course planning. Most notably the Guidance Department has adopted a 4 year planner, which we recommend students consider completing as part of the course selection process. 

This year the Guidance Department added a new feature to our junior course selection meetings. A group of seniors that just completed the college application process presented some key information to juniors in regard to the college application process. The seniors did a great job offering advice, tips and things to avoid. Our hope is this presentation serves as a great segue as the BHS Guidance  Department dives into the colleges process with juniors.
