MNHS CCAC has partnered with Revolution Prep to offer our students interactive strategy sessions to practice for the official PSAT, SAT, and ACT as well as a full length practice PSAT! These free two-hour sessions are designed to give students insight into the PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams as well as provide tips for test day. In these sessions, a Revolution Prep professional tutor will teach core test-taking strategies, including a dive into the exam content, and structure, and how to avoid common traps, and how to create the best plan for success. These review sessions are not meant to significantly boost scores.

The NCAA College Table Talk session has been moved! New date: Thursday, March 17^th

The College & Career Access Counselors would like to announce to our parents that we have a special College Table Talk session on Thursday March 17^th, at 8am. The meeting will occur via zoom. This session will cover NCAA eligibility and all that is involved with applying to college and being a student-athlete. If your child plans to, or is thinking about, playing a sport in college then this session is packed with information for you. The college admissions process can be overwhelming enough and having an athlete can make the process even more daunting. We can help! At this College Table Talk, we will walk you through the recruitment process, including timelines, talking to coaches, rules and regulations, NCAA Clearinghouse, etc.

Special guest, Bobbi Caprice, an Athletic Director at Penn State, will be here to help answer your questions. Please call the CCAC at 610-359-4240 if you have any questions. This session is open to all grades. We look forward to seeing you on the 17^th.

College Table Talk - April 7, 2022, 8:00 a.m.

Topic: What is Naviance? Naviance is a college and career readiness software provider that is available for Marple Newtown High School students to use as a Career and College planning tool. This program allows students and their parents to determine the student’s learning styles and career interests, research colleges, and assist with the application process. Students each have their own “log in” for Naviance. The path to career readiness begins with self-discovery.
