Academic Announcements:

Juniors and Seniors: A representative from Texas Tech University will be visiting on Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the Counseling Office.  Sign up on your Naviance account if you'd like to meet with her.

Attention Seniors!  Each Littleton High School Senior will meet in the Post Grad Center during an OFF hour at some time during the months of September and October.  Your meeting will provide you with tools and strategies to stay on track with plans for college and career goals after high school. The meetings are 45 minutes long, and will include only about 8 other Seniors, plus several adult experts to help you continue to move ahead in planning your life after Littleton.  You will receive a note in class the day before your meeting date, and a reminder phone call will be made to your home, if we have a phone number on file. You may also drop by Post Grad to find out when your meeting will be held. These meetings are mandatory...but you really wouldn't want to miss yours anyway. You'll want to take full advantage of all of the information and coaching you'll get during your "Life After Littleton Meeting".  If have questions, stop by Post Grad. Also, while we're on the subject of planning your life after you graduate, Seniors...Please pay a visit to the newly updated Post Grad page on the LHS website.  You'll find tons of detailed information that will make your life easy as you're applying to college.  Well, maybe not easy...but a lot easier!  So, log on and take advantage of it!
