4 FRESHMAN YEAR Start now to build your college and career portfolio. This is the year you need to actively explore a career path that meshes well with your God given interests, talents and giftedness. We are here to help you start that search NOW so that your 4 years here at HCA will prepare you fully to transition into the college and/or career you feel lead to.

Make an appointment with Student Services sometime this fall to discuss your high school path and the requirements needed to: Graduate Apply for National Honors Society, Run for Student Council AP Class requirements Become a Distinguished Scholar Start Strong and Finish Strong All of these involvements will help you stand out in job and college interviews. Grades Matter. Keep your grades up in all of your classes so that your GPA will reflect well in your college applications. Strong grades and high grade point averages in high school very often lead to financial scholarships from your college of choice. Get Involved! Step up and out and get involved in theater, a sport or club. Sign up to serve at school, church or community. Serving pleases the Lord, impacts lives and reflects well on college applications.
