The vision of the Alpharetta High School Counseling Department is to educate, inspire, and encourage all students in our diverse community. AHS must be a place where we administrators, staff, students, and the community value one another and work together in a mutually supportive environment to encourage academics, personal excellence, and respect for self and others in the educational process

  • Getting Ahead

    During the next couple of weeks, we encourage seniors to use SuperMatch to conduct a college search and start building your “Colleges I’m Thinking About” and “Colleges I’m Applying To lists.” Additionally, seniors can start researching a database of Scholarships and begin creating a list of scholarships they will apply for. Seniors can use the following guides to get started:

    We hope the provided resources are helpful. Seniors should contact their school counseling department at the start of the school year regarding questions about Naviance Student and or the college application process.

  • College Application Process

    Applying to College is Easy as 1, 2, 3! Currently all students, grades 9-12, have access to Naviance, an online college and career readiness platform that helps students find their best-fit path after high school.

    Naviance Student allows you to:

    • Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume, complete online surveys, and manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers
    • Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past
    • Research careers – Research hundreds of careers and career clusters, and take career assessments
    • Create plans for the future – Create goals and to-dos, and complete tasks assigned to you by the school to better prepare yourself for your future college and career goals

    Applying to College

    While Naviance will continue to be used to research and plan for college, for the 2023-2024 school year, students will apply to college using the following platforms:

    Requesting Transcripts

    Many of the abovementioned college application platforms will allow school counselor to upload high school transcript.  Therefore, students will not have to request transcripts outside of the application platform. However, if/when needed, students can request transcripts here via ScribOrder.
