Please check back each week as we try to keep you abreast of activities and announcements that pass through the guidance office.  The high school experience is enriched when students reach beyond the confines of SHDHS and take advantage of a wide variety of programs available in order to explore their interests to a greater degree.  All of these notices are also announced to students during homeroom.

Sophomores and juniors may want to review the college scholarship listings on this site to see which ones appeal to you.  Review the qualifications which make you eligible.  There may be extra steps you can take over the next year to enhance your application.

The counselors recommend that students take the ACT at least once in their junior year and again in the fall of the senior year.  ACT and SAT test companies are encouraging students to apply online.  Please go to the ACT or SAT section here in the Guidance Dept. web page for more dates, details and web sites.  Students must use the St. Henry District High School code 180-770 when registering for these tests.
