Today I had a great meeting with Becky Wallerick (rwallerick@isd271.org), our new College and Career Counselor, at Jefferson High School. We are really fortunate to have someone in this position who is focused on post-graduation planning with our students and we are especially lucky to have someone who truly understands gifted teens! We are in the process of putting together an evening program for gifted jr and sr students and their parents for jump start in the fall to help guide college planning. In the mean time I think these articles are a great starting point!
