1 Junior Year Timeline LHS & College Requirements Colleges at a Glance Planning Visits The ACT Creating a Resume Helpful Links
2 Junior Year Overview As a junior, you have already been through standardized testing and difficult classes. By now, you have a good understanding of the types of demands that teachers have, and what you need to do to be successful at school. The goal of the counselors, this year, is to help you crystallize what you hope to do when you leave high school, and begin the process of the transition to post-high school. This may include college, trade school, military, or work. Hopefully, by the end of junior year, you will have a clear sense of what you intend to do after Lemont High School! All juniors are required to take the ACT on April 19, which does NOT include the ACT Writing Test. Scores will be posted on your transcript, and this ACT score can be sent out to colleges for admissions purposes. If the college to which you plan to apply requires writing, we recommend that you take another ACT on a Saturday in April, June, or in the fall of senior year.
