We will be hosting North Central State College on Jan. 24th @ 6pm for our annual CCP informational night. The breakdown: Why? The state of Ohio requires all participants interested in taking CCP courses for the following school year to attend a CCP information session. What? CCP Information Session. This is for any Centerburg student 7-12 who would like to take college courses during high school. Where? HS auditorium What time? 6-7pm What to bring? Questions, paper to take notes, & at least one parent/guardian. **Been there, done that. Do I have to attend the meeting again? Yes, you are asked to attend even if you are currently a CCP student. The state will often change rules and requirements, all of which you are responsible for keeping up with. **What if I cannot make it to the meeting that evening on the 24th? You can attend an informational session with a neighboring school district (they share the same state information) OR, you can receive counseling from a CCP school advisor when enrolling at their institution. Please be able to provide some type of proof that you attended a session other than our own here at CHS. **What are the dates of other informational sessions if I cannot attend on Jan. 24th? Dates and times of other meetings will be emailed, posted on Facebook, posted on the website and announced at school. One known date is Feb. 7th @ 6:30pm. CSCC will be hosting this virtual session.

Scholarship season info! There are a few "seasons" of scholarships you need to be aware of: 1) Start up season (NOW). There will be a few that trickle in before the holidays and you may qualify. 2) Jan-Feb = this is when you'll apply for the Knox County Foundation scholarships. This is a one-stop shop application for many (many!) scholarships. These are announced during the spring Senior Night ceremony. 3) March-May = This is the season of many local scholarships as well as a few other scholarships we see come in each year during this window. WHAT CAN YOU DO IN PREPARATION? *Make a list of all of your accomplishments (academic, community, athletic, etc.). It's easier to have it in one place for many applications moving forward. *If you have not done so already, ask a teacher or coach to write a letter of recommendation for you. This can be on your behalf as a whole, or it can be specific if needed. Waiting until the last minute to ask a teacher for this will not win you favors. Give your list of accomplishments to the teacher you have asked to write a LOR. This will help their memory in writing something great for you. *Make a copy (digital or printed) of all of the scholarships on the Scholarship doc 2023 seniors Read through all the options. Highlight those that make sense and start prepping. Most of these are similar each year so you should have an idea of what they want/expect. When they become available you'll be prepared to jump on it. Please let me know if I can help! Carey Ballinger High School/Middle School Guidance Counselor
