Upcoming events!

We will have our annual College Panel for students wishing to talk to students who have graduated from KGHS and gone to college.  This event occurs during FLEX in the auditorium January 8, 2014.  This is a great opportunity for students to hear tips and lessons learned about college life.

Financial Aid Night will be January 9, 2014 at 6 p.m. in the KGHS auditorium.  This event is most useful for parents of seniors planning to attend any post-secondary educational institution.  The presenter is from The College Place in Woodbridge.  Rappahannock Community College and Germanna Community College will both have representatives there to discuss courses, programs, and tuition before and after the presentation.

We will host a Meet and Greet for our new counselor, Ms. Enos, January 9, 2014 beginning at 3:30 p.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. in the counseling office.   Parents of students whose last names begin with Ph through Z are invited to stop by and meet Ms. Enos.

Dual Enrollment Information Night will be held January 16, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. in Room 221.  All parents and students are welcome. A representative from Rappahannock Community College will be present to answer specific questions.  We hope to have details regarding the next College Connection courses that evening as well!

Super Saturday is February 1, 2014 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. in Room 135.  Overflow will use the library lab.  Rappahannock Community College's financial aid staff will be here to give a presentation and help parents of seniors complete the FAFSA.  Be sure to create your FAFSA pin at https://pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/pinindex.jsp if you will be completing a FAFSA.  Please RSVP to Mrs. Morrison in the counseling office if you plan to attend.

Just for Juniors Workshop - March 3, 11, and 19, 2014.  Pick one.  2:45 p.m. - 4:15 p.m @ KGHS.  Prepare for the college application process. 


Rappahannock Community College's College Connection was launched in the fall of 2012 for students at King George High School to supplement the requirements for a RCC General Education Certificate or an Associates of Arts and Sciences Degree. This program is a tremendous opportunity for students to earn college credits not typically offered to students in the high school; therefore, earning a degree more quickly than with dual enrollment classes alone.  Students will have the chance to earn college credits during the fall and spring semester and summer term.
The following are scheduled to be this spring's College Connection classes:
College Success Skills - SDV 100 - 1 credit
Religions of the World - REL 230 - 3 credits
Survey of American Literature - ENG 241 - 3 credits
All courses are scheduled to begin in March at KGHS.  Please contact Karen Turner, RCC's KGHS Site Coordinator, at 775-0087 or kturner@kgcs.k12.va.us for details or to register.
