FSHA's CEEB Code is 052-380.
In the second semester of junior year, a meeting is set up with students, parents and a counselor to explain options that are based on a realistic evaluation of the student’s academic record, goals and interests.
The College Counseling Office recommends visiting campuses of various sizes (large state, mid-size private and smaller universities and colleges) as a first step in narrowing down her options. Campus visits can be arranged during vacation periods or by simply visiting local schools when the opportunity arises. Campus tours helps the student decide what “feels right” for her.
Students and parents are notified of testing schedules in the Parent Newsletter and in their conference with their daughter’s counselor. The SAT I and the ACT are equally acceptable at most colleges and universities.
No. All information regarding both financial aid and scholarships is available free through the colleges and universities to which the student is applying, via the Internet and also at the public library.
Yes. Throughout the fall, college and university admission representatives visit the FSHA campus to meet with interested students. These visits are beneficial because most often this representative processes the student application for the college or university he or she represents. FSHA also co-hosts the St. Francis College Fair each year, which provides another opportunity for the students to get to know the schools better.
Beginning freshman year, guidance counselors encourage students to take the UC’s A-G requirements. Almost all the classes offered at FSHA are accepted by the UC system.
Parents are notified of important financial aid application and deadline information through the Parent Newsletter. The office also holds a financial aid workshop that takes parents through the financial aid forms step-by-step.
