Guidance - 12th Grade
Welcome to your senior year at Dhahran High School! This is going to be an exciting year as you work towards meeting your graduation requirements, and finalize your post high school plans.
At the beginning of the school year, we will meet with you to review your graduation requirements and to discuss your plans for the following year. We will also be inviting you and your parents to a College Information Night to share some information with you in relation to the college application process. Below you will find a timeline that outlines what you should be working on throughout the year, as you work toward higher education. We encourage you to refer to the Senior Handbook for useful tips on writing college essays, requesting letters of recommendation, researching colleges, information on SAT, as well as a listing of very useful websites that will assist you to explore your options.

We look forward to working with you throughout the school year.

Dear Parents and Seniors,
There are some coming events and senior items that you need to remember:
