SENIORS: COLLEGE APP. INFO.
Counselors met with all seniors on Thursday, September 7th. Seniors were given their transcripts for review, and counselors explained the process for applying to college, sending transcripts, sending test scores, searching for scholarships, etc. All of the information is posted to the seniors’ AHS Class of 2024 Google Classroom. It is important for them to keep checking the Google Classroom for pertinent information, as we will post throughout the year. Additionally, detailed information for seniors regarding college applications, transcript ordering, the Common Application, and more can be found on the Senior Weebly.
Individual Senior Meetings: Over the next couple months, counselors will send passes to each senior to meet and discuss post-graduation plans, college applications, etc. Additionally, students are welcome to stop by the Counseling Office to ask questions or schedule a meeting with their counselor. Students are able to email their counselors with questions at any time as well. During this season of post high school planning, students are encouraged to take ownership of the process/steps toward their future, as they will be navigating life on their own soon:)

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
National Honor Society members are off to a busy start for the 2023-2024 school year. Students have been earning hours throughout the community by volunteering in RCS schools, doing litter pick-ups at parks and along trails, and working with the Sheriff’s PAL program. A new feature this year is Leadership Projects. Students are being asked to find a need in our community and design a project around it. This is a great opportunity for our members to learn new skills by planning and facilitating projects to benefit others. The deadline to have a proposal approved for the project is September 22nd. To ensure their projects are approved, members will need to have their proposals turned in no later than 7:30 AM September 11th to receive feedback and make revisions. Guidelines and additional tips are posted in Google Classroom and each student has a team leader who can help guide them if they have questions.

SENIOR YEARBOOK PORTRAITS
Dear Parents and Students of the Class of 2024,
All seniors for the class of 2024 will need to get their YEARBOOK PORTRAIT taken by Prestige Portraits. This service is provided free of charge and includes insertion in the yearbook and inclusion on the class composite.
If you missed the June and July dates at Adams, there is one more session for seniors at Adams High School on Saturday, October 21, 2023 from 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM in the media center!
You will have to schedule your sitting for this date using the following link:
https://schedule.prestigeportraits.com/schedule/home.html?MI&rochester
From the site, scroll to the bottom, and type in the state (Michigan), and the city (Rochester Hills) to begin the scheduling process. If you are unable to make this date, you will need schedule a personal sitting at a Prestige studio.
https://local.prestigeportraits.com
You can also call 517-349-1703 and then follow the prompts to schedule an appointment.
The special no-charge yearbook session will be available along with other sessions and upgrade options. If you do schedule your senior picture session, do so in the summer. All seniors should have their senior portraits taken by Saturday, November 11th. Once the photos are processed, students/parents must choose their preferred photo by November 25, 2023.
If a pose is not chosen by that date, the studio will choose a pose to be submitted. Prestige will then send the photo directly to Mr. Lovalvo.
Students and parents will still have the opportunity to go to their preferred choice of photographer, if it is not Prestige Portraits, for their other senior photos. While only the yearbook pose sitting fee is FREE OF CHARGE, Prestige will be offering significant discounts for other senior picture packages as well.
Please remember that this is a more formal section of the yearbook than the underclassmen photo section. Because of this, students need to dress up - shirt/tie/suit coat, collared shirt, dress, blouse, etc.
All clothing needs to meet these specifications and the RCS dress code policy in order to be included in the yearbook and on the class composite. If you (or your child) need help obtaining proper attire or need more information regarding attire, please contact Mr. Lovalvo at [email protected].
