5th Annual College Application Boot Camp

The KGHS Counseling Department is excited to offer the 5th Annual College Application Boot Camp to rising seniors.  Boot Camp is designed to assist rising seniors with completing college applications, writing essays/personal statements, and planning for scholarship application submission.  Essay writing will be under the direction of an English teacher as well as the KGHS school counselors.  Seniors have two sessions to choose from:

August 4 and 5 - 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
August 4 and 5 - 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Students should sign up in the counseling office, by calling 540-775-3535 ext. 3201, or by emailing Mrs. Morrison at tmorrison@kgcs.k12.va.us.

College Application Boot Camp for Parents will be held August 9, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 221.

Senior Pictures

One of the most difficult tasks yearbook advisers encounter each year is the process of getting all the senior students photographed and in the yearbook within their yearbook deadline time frame. The solution is to get as many students to the camera as early as possible to alleviate the last minute rush to the deadline.  Seniors should plan to take pictures at KGHS:

July 12, 2016 10 AM-5 PM, or

July 13, 2016 9 AM-3 PM, or

July 14, 2016 9 AM- 2 PM.

The make up day will be August 31, 2016 from 9 AM-1 PM.  Specific information will be mailed home by Strawbridge Studios.  The contact information for Strawbridge Studios is 866-624-6229 if you need assistance.
