Information for Current Seniors
Welcome to Martinsburg High School's Senior class page!
Here you will find important information for your senior year.
Make sure you're staying on track during your Senior year by following these few tips:
Attendance: Coming to school is important for your academic success.
Credits: Do you know what you need to graduate? Review what your graduation requirements are and speak with your counselor to make sure you have everything that you need. If you have failed a credit, you must make it up through gradpoint in a night school or a Plato period.
Plans for after high school: Would you like to go straight into the workforce, to college, or the military? Make sure you are thinking about what you would like to do after high school and talk to your counselor to find out more resources to help you with your decision.
College Applications: Now is the time to start applying! Most college applications will have deadlines happening soon, so make sure you prioritize applying to the colleges of your choice. You can apply through the Common App or straight from the schools website.
Financial Aid: If you are going to college, make sure you complete your FASFA between October 1st and March 1st!
Scholarships: Scholarships can be an important part of paying for college, so make sure that you check our scholarship page to find out how to apply! You can download scholarship applications that are available on our page or pick up a copy from the guidance office.
ACT/SAT Testing: Use our academic resource page to find out when and where you can take an ACT or SAT test.
