Next Steps

In Boundary Students:

• Work with Junior High counsellors in January – February
• Select courses with a Central Memorial counsellor in

February at your Junior High

• A student must register with their designated high school

(based on the family’s address), even if they are applying for a transfer. Out of Boundary Students:

• Get a signed transfer form from designated High School

and submit to Central with a current report card – PVA, NSA, other specific transfer

Questions

The most important goal of high school is to graduate with purpose and an action plan for the future.
