School plays an important role in students’ lives. While they are in high school there are several ways to prepare your self for college.

High school is a place where students can learn as much as possible and gain many skills to prepare them to for college.

“Everett High School prepares students for college because we offer many honors and AP classes,” said counselor Erin Falsetta. “If they want to those kinds of classes, the opportunity is here.”

Many students agree that Everett is the place to be to prepare for their futures.

“I think this school does prepare you if you take college-prep classes,” said junior Jasmine Heggins.

Government statistics show that out of the 3.2 million students who graduated in October of 2008, only 68.6 attended college.

Counselors here at Everett feel like students do not take advantage of the opportunities that they come across.

“Everett does prepare students for college because we have successful students, but some students don’t take advantage of what we have to offer,” said counselor Jennifer West.

Everett offers a wide range of classes for students to get ready for college curriculum and high school is the first step students have to get through in order to be good and ready for college.

“Yes, I think Everett High School prepared me for college in certain aspects, but they could do better teaching,” said former Everett student William Thompson.

The transition from high school to college can be a difficult one. A student’s social life and academic life will be remarkably different from high school, but going to college will help to land a better job in the future.
