Juniors—No School
Juniors do not have any classes on this day. We encourage families to use this day to visit local 2- or 4-year schools, participate in job shadows, or meet with military recruiters. 
 
Seniors—Participate in Reality Check Simulation
All seniors will participate in our annual Reality Check simulation. The activity is completed in partnership with quite a few community businesses and is designed to help seniors think through the responsibilities and challenges of financial independence. Seniors will report to campus at assigned times and participate in the 2-hour activity.
