Counseling & School Events

September 19, 6:00 p.m.
Hi Seniors (and Parents/Guardians of Seniors) --If you plan to attend college next year, (or any time in the future), it's important you attend this year's "College Planning Night for Seniors and Parents." Join your counselor, Diane Jensen, for a virtual event to learn about applying to college, navigating the Common Application, requesting letters of recommendation and transcripts, using Naviance, writing essays, taking a gap year, and much more.

The college application process varies at all high schools, and it's very important for students to understand this process AT NEW VISTA.

This is our main way to deliver this important information, especially this year, so we really hope you can make it.
Please register HERE.

All residents of Colorado who are applying for undergraduate programs at all state public and some private Colorado colleges and universities are eligible to submit their admission applications for free on Oct. 17-19, 2023. Undergraduate programs include undergraduate level certificates, associate degrees, and bachelor degrees.  If the college/university has additional application documents required as part of the application process (for example, high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.) they can be submitted before or after Oct. 17-19.

• If you are interested in taking the PSAT/NMSQT, now is the time to register. This test is optional. The PSAT /NMSQT is the best practice for the SAT, which all Juniors will take in the Spring. The test is primarily given to 11th graders, though 10th graders are welcome to take it for practice.
  The main difference between the PSAT 10 (which current Juniors took last spring) and the PSAT/NMSQT, is that the PSAT/NMSQT is used to qualify 11th grade students for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Go to: http://www.nationalmerit.org for more information on this program.
