The High School Game Plan is designed to help students make the most of their high school years. It contains a comprehensive tool kit that will allow students to maximize their high school experience while at the same time preparing for the college admissions process. It is often said that organization fosters success. The High School Game Plan will assist students in developing their own personal road map to success. As suggested by the name, this guide is designed to be a four-year journey, not a last-minute sprint to the finish line. The earlier a student begins their own personal journey, the greater the opportunity to build a compelling and interesting story! So, start early as a freshman; just like a snowball rolling down a hill, the longer it has to roll, the bigger it will become. Most high school students don’t get serious about college until their junior year. That often leaves out valuable years that could have been used to develop a deeper and richer high school experience. So, START NOW and build your best personal story!

It is not important what particular path a student chooses. Personal interests may be discovered through athletics, the arts, community service, science and engineering projects, work experience, starting a business, or any other activity. What is most important is the dedication, commitment and passion a student puts toward these experiences. Getting started early in high school allows students to develop more depth and become stress-free superstars.

The college admission process is based on five primary factors, including:

I. Academic Achievement (a combination of course rigor and good grades, as well as academic honors and awards)

II. Standardized Test Scores (ACT and/or SAT)

III. Extracurricular Activities (athletics, theater, work experience, clubs and organizations, leadership opportunities, etc.)

IV. Letters of Recommendation (teachers, counselors, research mentors, athletic coaches and others who know you well)

V. Personal Statement (Essay)

The High School Game Plan provides an easy and comprehensive way for students to organize all of their high school accomplishments in one convenient file. Having all of these materials in one place will make the college application process much easier down the road.

The High School Game Plan is also designed to help students identify possible areas of personal interest. If something peeks a student’s interest they can explore further to see if they might want to get involved.

This process can look intimidating at first, but as you will see from the examples found in the High School Game Plan, students who can identify an interest early on in their high school career can find countless ways to explore, engage, and develop an interesting and rewarding personal story.

Plan for Your Future

No winning team enters a game unprepared; no successful business grows without a business plan; why would any student start high school without a game plan?
