SeniorInfo

There is much information available to the parents of college bound students in our guidance office. We have information on scholarships, college financing, SAT preparation, SAT testing, college application procedures, dual enrollment, and much more. We encourage the parents of seniors to make an appointment with the guidance office, before the end of October, to discuss your student’s future plans and how we may assist them in achieving those plans.

The following is a brief list of upcoming dates that senior parents and students should be aware of. This is not a complete list. A complete list of important dates is available in our guidance office.

Community Service is also very important to colleges and to Summit Christian School. It is our duty as Christians to serve one another. With that in mind, all seniors at Summit Christian School are required to complete twenty-five hours of community service, per year, from the 9^th to the 12^th grade. Documentation of these hours must be presented to the guidance office before graduation.

Any student who has completed a dual enrollment class needs to bring a transcript of the grade to the guidance office. This transcript will allow Summit to give the student high school credit for the class.

All male students who have reached the age of eighteen must register with the Selective Service. Information on the registration process is available in the guidance office.

Senior Conduct
As leaders of the school, the seniors are expected to display exemplary conduct at all times. In many ways the seniors will have opportunity to represent our school in the community and to the public across the country. A student who has achieved the standing of senior class student at Summit Christian School is assumed to have strong support for its academic, spiritual and moral standards. In keeping with an accompanying level of maturity, SCS seniors are expected to be in every way examples of a Christian. Any student who would not feel comfortable in that atmosphere is encouraged to seek to attend a school more in keeping with his personal spiritual and moral standards - for his own benefit as well as for our school’s. The same methods of disciplinary action pertain to seniors as to other students. A senior may be expelled at any time during the school year if, in the judgment of the administration, he is found to be in violation of his Student Pledge. A senior who is expelled from SCS will not receive a diploma no matter how far along into the year it may be. It is for this reason that we encourage every student, but especially seniors, to be positive in their commitment to the Lord and to Summit Christian School.

Senior Expenses		Senior Portraits and Testing		Senior Trip
The senior class has many special events that occur during the year. Many of them will have additional fees you will need to pay if you choose to participate. The one fee all seniors must pay is the Graduation Fee. This fee covers the cost of your cap and gown, diploma, and other graduation expenses. Other events with additional fees that may occur during the year are as follows: Senior Pictures Senior Yearbook Picture Day Fees for Honor Societies Graduation Announcements Grad Nite Senior Retreat Senior TripBanquets (Jr./Sr. Prom, Athletic, etc.)		All seniors are required to get their portraits taken with the school’s chosen photography studio for the yearbook. These pictures will be taken in the months of August and September. The photographers know what we need for the yearbook, but you may take additional poses as well. Please remember that pictures must reflect SCS standards for hair, etc. See Dress Code for more info. TESTING All seniors are required to take either the SAT or the ACT college entrance exam by the spring of their senior year. This is a requirement for graduation from Summit Christian School.

We view the senior trip as an important educational experience, as well as an enjoyable time, and encourage each senior to attend. The school will provide fundraising events for the senior to help raise funds to pay for the trip. Additional information will be distributed early in the student’s senior year.
