College Guidance

The 2006-2007 freshman class of Eastbrook Academy High School toured the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee campus and the Marquette University campus in the spring of 2007.

Both tours gave brief but informative insights into how students as young as freshman can start planning and preparing for college. Grade are important, but both colleges stressed that the application should include information that would help them get to know the "whole" student. A "portfolio" of the following information should start to be gathered in the freshman year:

  1. Letters of recommendation
  2. Notes from teachers and others regarding outstanding performance
  3. Volunteer history
  4. Work history
  5. Documents showing the student's interests
  6. Grades
  7. SAT & ACT scores

The application process for college will normally start in the fall of the student's senior year. Grades for the freshman through the junior year are very important.

8th Graders and freshman are encouraged to learn about the Wisconsin Covenant through the website WisconsinCovenant.wi.gov. It consists of a pledge for the students to make regarding their high school years and a promise from the State of Wisconsin for college.
