Counselor Kathleen DeRouen will help seniors with the college admission and financial aid process at Yucca Valley High School and Twentynine Palms High School during August. She will be at YVHS every Monday and Wednesday, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., from August 3 to August 19, and at TPHS Tuesdays and Thursdays from August 4 to August 20, also between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Kathy DeRouen will advise on how to:
Complete college admission application(s);
Write personal statement(s);
Review for SAT and ACT tests;
Apply for Educational Opportunity Programs and research and apply for various scholarships.
Seniors are advised to attend as many sessions as they are able so they can get the best “jump start” on the college admission process.
