11th Grade
Your coaches: Ngan & Kaitlyn
Junior year is when you really should start thinking about colleges you are interested in, research them, take your ACTs/SATs, and allow yourself plenty of time to prepare for the rigorous college application process during senior year. It is also an extremely important time for you to catch up on your work and make sure your transcript is in good shape for next year. Colleges will look at the progress since your 9th grade to the first quarter/semester/trimester of your 12th grade year. Therefore, you want to make sure your grades are INCREASING (no matter how fast), and not decreasing.
