□    Study and work hard to get good grades! Colleges and Universities do look at your freshman grades.
□    Get involved with school related extracurricular activities. Find one or two clubs, sports or school organizations you like best and get involved. Be careful not to spread yourself too thin with too much involvement in these groups.

□    Pick up your class schedule. Be sure it contains appropriate college preparatory course work.
□    Get acquainted with your teachers and counselors at Logan High School.

Summer
□    Find a summer job or do volunteer work.. 

Note: College Planning
One of the biggest mistakes that students make in planning for college is not starting soon enough. Don't wait until your senior year to take tough classes. Don't wait until your senior year to become concerned about your grade point average. Don't wait until your senior year to get to know your high school counselor. Don't wait until your senior year to take the ACT or the SAT test. Don't wait until your senior year to decide to go to college. Don't wait until your senior year to become aware of the resources in the Student Center.
