Last Updated: June 7, 2011

  • The June edition of the Canton High School Guidance Newsletter is now available.

  • CLASS OF 2012: Registration is ongoing for Fall SAT and ACT exams.  Canton High School is an SAT test center in October.  You may register online at www.collegeboard.com or www.actstudent.org.

  • CLASS OF 2012: Please be sure to  fill out a student questionnaire for your counselor if you have not already done so.  The questionnaire can be found on the guidance website under "Guidance Forms."  Your counselor will not write your letter of recommendation until this is submitted.

    If you are a student on an IEP or 504 plan that grants you extended time on tests in school and you regularly use that extended time, you may be eligible for extended time on the PSAT and other College Board tests.  You must apply for extended time through a separate application process.  See your counselor for more information.

  • SOPHOMORES, JUNIORS, SENIORS: See the "Internships" link under "Careers" above to learn about interesting internship opportunities available through The Education Cooperative (TEC).  TEC is available to help arrange internship experiences in a variety of settings.  TEC is also able to offer a limited number of "scholarships" to help cover the cost of the internship for eligible students who receive free or reduced lunch.

  • PARENTS OF SENIORS: Please take the time to fill out a Parent Brag Sheet (parent questionnaire) to assist your child's counselor by providing your thoughts and reflections on your child's growth and progress.

  • Students in all grades are encouraged to see their counselor to receive a Naviance registration code.  Naviance is a web-based software program available to students featuring many college and career planning tools.
