High School Planning for 10th grade

Take Geometry or Algebra II, college prep English, and a language other than English.

Try to earn A and B grades in all your classes. Studying hard in high school will help prepare you for college coursework.

Update your High School Planner with the courses you complete in the 10th grade and those you plan to take in the 11th grade.

Focus on your class work and your homework to develop the study skills you will need to succeed in college.

Take part in enrichment programs, special summer workshops or camps at CSU campuses in music, science, engineering, writing, filmmaking, theater, language, and many other subjects.

Extracurricular Activities Life Outside the Classroom

"We're looking for a commitment to and a passion for an activity outside of the academic setting — we're looking for depth rather than breadth," explains Nanci Tessier, a college admission director.

Haven't Gotten Involved Yet? Many school, community and religious organizations give you

chances to explore your interests and talents. There are lots of opportunities to try different things.

Community Service volunteer work tutoring elementary school kids spending time at a local hospital.

School Activities Don't worry about being president of the club, or captain of the

team. The key is whether you've done something significant  — center stage or behind the scenes.
