This document provides information to help seniors plan for life after high school, including their senior legacy experience (SLE) project. It discusses the definition of an SLE as the culminating project of a student's high school career, where they take what they've learned and make an impact in their community. Students will engage stakeholders, communicate their plan to advisors, and determine costs/resources. The SLE is not a one-day project but something executed throughout the year. The document also provides timelines and deadlines for college applications, financial aid, scholarships, and testing.
