Reaching the High School Milestone

The first day of high school is a wonderful milestone for teens and their parents. To prepare, Ellis and Talladega High joined forces to help with the transition. Mrs. Jackie Bishop from the high school came to Ellis Junior High on March 27th and 28th to explain the registration process for the upcoming freshman class. Students were asked to share and complete registration forms with their parents and returned them to Ellis Junior High counselor, Amy Patterson.

To aid parents and students in completing the forms, all were invited to attend an additional meeting on March 29th at the high school. Mr. Carter, Assistant Principal, was on hand to welcome the guests and answer questions about the school. Ms. Shephard, one of three THS guidance counselors, reviewed each subject area and the types of diploma tracks available to the students. She was available after the meeting to help those still unsure of the scheduling process. Refreshments were provided by Super Wal-Mart in Talladega.
