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.
