Future Center

Greetings Summit Students and Families!

The Future Center gladly takes appointments for all students and families! Seniors and Juniors tend to need more regular college information, and both classes will be contacted through their school email and through their Class of 2025 and Class of 2026 Canvas sites. Activities through the Future Center include College Search and Application Workshops, Professional Presentations, University Representative visits, Career Job Shadow opportunities, one on one college and career consulting, and much more!

ACTIVITIES CALENDAR LISTED BELOW

As we start the year, you will see the schedule crowded with College Admissions Representative Visits. There are two key reasons why it makes sense to attend a session and meet these people....by the way, parents are welcome....this is everyone's room!

1) You can ask detailed questions about any aspect of the school and the admissions process....they know it all, and

2) These are the people who read your college essays!

Try to make as many as you can, and I will write passes for any class you need to miss in order to attend.

Finally, keep a close eye on the schedule as items get squeezed in quite often.
