This planner is a helper, not an official transcript or counseling decision. Always confirm graduation status, course approval, and NCAA eligibility with your counselor.
Tip: By August before senior year, your college list should be real — balanced for GPA, cost, and where you'd actually go.

Goal: You walk into senior year ready to apply — not starting from zero.
Reach out early — academics, college apps, mental health, everything.
