Sophomore Timeline 

• Keep your grades up. A good GPA is important when applying for colleges and scholarships.  

• Continue to get involved – join clubs, play a sport, participate in community service. Keep a record of all participation, offices held, awards, honors, etc.  

• Consider a part-time job and a savings account as you begin to think more about paying for college.  

• Make a list of reasons why you like different colleges – location, costs, size, programs, extracurricular activities, etc.  

• Use resources such as College Board, or College for TN to explore colleges and careers.  

• Talk to college and military representatives when they make lunch visits to MPHS. Ask questions and get materials – that is why they are here.   

• If you are interested in attending a U.S. military academy request a pre-candidate questionnaire and complete it.  

• Begin to think about applying for Dual Enrollment during your Junior/Senior year. If interested in a technical school, there are programs available such as auto mechanics, welding and more for Dual Enrollment.
