Junior

Services

At Casey Gendason Guidance, we view the junior year as the time when students grow the most. Some students are ready to soar, while others are beginning to display the independence we want our children to have (without completely ignoring their family!). Whether they admit to it or not, college is on the mind of juniors, and the application process brings a range of emotions – excitement, fear, feeling invigorated by a new chapter ahead, and unsure what the unknown will bring.

There are days when students openly talk to their family about the college application process, and there are days when students want an outside opinion. Casey Gendason Guidance has conversations that are non-judgmental and uplifting because, in the thick of junior year, every student can use an advocate, reassurance, and level-headed opinion.
