Beginning Freshman year, students should consider taking Honors and AP level courses where appropriate. Many colleges will be looking for academic rigor (the level of difficulty in each class) as a means to determine admissions, particularly Emory, Georgia Tech, UGA, Georgia State and many out of state institutions.
Naviance
Naviance is a great tool for our students to explore various career fields, learn their interest, scholarship search, college requirements and more. Student should familiarize their-selves with this website as they continue their 4 years at Wheeler High School.
College Board
Students interested in out-of-state institutions are encouraged to familiarize themselves with CollegeBoard's Big Future website.
Students will have the opportunity to take the PSAT during their Sophomore year (free of charge). The PSAT is a good indicator of what subject areas you’re best in for the SAT, as well as areas for improvement.
