The journey from junior high school to higher education is a pivotal transition period in a student’s life. This period is marked by significant academic, personal, and developmental milestones. During these years, students begin to explore their interests, discover their strengths, and lay the groundwork for future success in college and beyond. It is during this time that students begin to develop essential skills and habits that will shape their academic trajectory. From mastering core subjects to participating in extracurricular activities, junior high students are exposed to a wide range of experiences that contribute to their overall growth and development.
However, amidst the academic rigor and social challenges of junior high, many students may feel overwhelmed or uncertain about their future educational path. This is where junior high college counseling steps in to provide guidance and support. By working closely with students, counselors help them explore their interests, set academic and personal goals, and envision their future paths to higher education.
