Senior Seminars - Class of 2023
Counselors in your classroom
All students will receive a senior packet during this event, which includes a copy of their senior credit checklist, with exactly what classes they need for graduation and 4 HOPE Rigor classes, as well as a copy of their transcript, FAQ sheet, and senior dues information. To request transcripts, students will use Parchment (linked below). If your student does not have an on campus English class or is absent that week, please have them stop by counseling to pick up their senior packet.
As we will remind students during the presentation, students can pay senior dues now. If students pay senior dues by September 30, the cost is $125. If students pay between October 1 and December 31, seniors dues will be $145. Between January 1 and April 22, dues will increase to $170. To pay senior dues, utilize the link below.
We look forward to working with your students their senior year!

Georgia Tech Women in Engineering Program
The Georgia Tech Women in Engineering Program is excited to announce that registration for our annual Engineering Career Conference (ECC) for current female junior and senior high school students is now open!
ECC is designed to give high school girls knowledge and information about the eleven engineering disciplines offered at Georgia Tech to help them decide if they'd like to study engineering in college, and, if so, which type of engineering is best for them.
This year's ECC will be held on Thursday, October 20, 2022 from 8:30AM to 4:00PM in Georgia Tech’s Klaus Advanced Computing Building. Over the course of a day, prospective female students have the opportunity to hear directly from Georgia Tech's world-renowned faculty and current Tech students about the various engineering majors offered at GT. In addition, attendees have the chance to meet with a GT Admissions Counselor to find out about the admissions process and the academic requirements necessary to be successful in the engineering undergraduate programs.
The non-refundable registration fee for ECC is $40, which covers all materials as well as breakfast and lunch for all attendees of the program.
