The Counselors’ Corner
Counselors’ Corner We invite you to browse the updated pages of our newly website. There are many resources available to help students and their parent/guardians. You can find information on graduation requirements, coach class schedules, SAT/ACT, the college and career planning process and much more. We will continue to update the website in the coming months. Check it out! SAT vs. ACT and How to Prepare Students, would you like to have more choices for life after high school? Practice, practice, practice to raise your SAT or ACT score and open up a greater variety of four-year college options! Most four-year universities require the submission of scores from one of these standardized assessments. The difference between the ACT and the SAT is generally described this way: the ACT is curriculum-based (what you have learned), while the SAT is aimed more at general reasoning and problem-solving skills (how you solve problems). Visit your potential colleges’ websites to find out which score is required or preferred. Performing well is not just dependent on what you know, but also on your ability to understand the test itself and how the questions are presented. This is why advance preparation is important. Fortunately, many resources are available to help. During the week before every SAT administration, Parkville High School offers after-school sessions to help students prepare. Listen to the morning announcements for more information. Also, enter the weekly SAT question contest, where you can win prizes while practicing up for the SAT. Each week new questions are posted outside the School Counseling Office, where you can also pick up an answer sheet and drop off your completed form. Warm up your brains, get thinking, and submit your entries ASAP! There are also free preparation resources available, for the SAT, through www.collegeboard.com, and for the ACT, through www.actstudent.org (these are also the websites for test registration). Also, many fee-based programs can be found through internet searches. College-bound students should consider taking the SAT twice to secure the best possible score – once in the spring of junior year and once in the fall of senior year. Here are some important upcoming deadlines: SAT ACT Visit the links on the left of this page for more help with your college exploration and application process. Best of luck as you prepare, and please let your counselor know if you have any questions. College Acceptance Recognition Congratulations to the many seniors that have already been accepted to colleges! Seniors will soon be recognized for these acceptances and are asked to please drop off a copy of each acceptance letter in the School Counseling Office.

Parkville High School School Principal Class of 2008 Class of 2011 |
A Message From Our Principal, Stephen Edgar Dear Parents, Greetings! As we live in a world that is changing very fast, new concerns come on the horizon in America. One of those concerns is the presence of gangs in our neighborhoods and schools. In an effort to become more informed about this topic, I started doing some research about gangs and young people. I read the book Grace after Midnight by Felicia “Snoop” Pearson and I’ve talked to colleagues that have been experiencing this problem for some time. Here a small bit of what I have learned… For gangs to thrive, our children depend on us having our heads “in the sand.” And – as you may recall from your younger days – the pull of peer pressure is very, very powerful… Based on these two ideas, here are some practical suggestions I was given for parents to stop their children from getting involved in the gang lifestyle:
Working with Officer Tony Barr and other members of the Baltimore County Police Department and several key parents in our community, we are identifying proactive ways to stop gangs both in our neighborhood and the rest of Baltimore County. Thanks to Officer Barr, Parkville High School is leading the way in tackling this very serious matter! Sincerely, |
