school, and regularly do. We have so many things how-
ever, that both set us apart from other schools and raises the bar for education.
For many it is hard to appreciate what the school has to
offer because a lot of us have lived here our entire lives.
I moved to Johnston my sophomore year from a tiny town of 5,000 people in the middle of nowhere: Ogallala, Ne-
braska. After moving here, I realized how many more opportunities this school has to offer.
For one, we have above standard teachers. One ex-
ample is Mr. Kinder: he should actually be addressed as

Dr. Kinder, because of his doctorate in law. Many teachers have their masters (think anyone who teaches AP classes).
At least we offer AP classes. At my old school there was
no such thing as AP classes, or variety in anything for that matter. While not everyone takes advantage of the variety of classes, it is always nice to have options.
School lunch has come a long way, but we complain
about it like we are still being served up one or two options that are unbearable. At Ogallala there were two op-
tions that never changed, no “a la carte,” and no hope of it getting better.
Our lunchroom has a bad reputation. I do not see why,
because most days there are at least three options plus
use change; however, we already have some of the best
to cook it yourself and it is fast. “A la carte” provides all
work out in our weight room. We have better and more
soup, salad, sandwich bar and bagels. You do not have the sweets and extras we need, including delicious cookies
that are worth standing in line for half of lunch to get. Even
with the passage of the Healthy Kids Act, which mandated
healthy food, there are still options. In addition, the cafeteria is nicer than some restaurants.
Another common complaint has to do with the age of
our facilities. I know that some parts of the school could

The long of the short is; be thankful that our school has
what it does. Stop complaining about things if they aren’t that bad.

would leave me with little to no options for my next two years of high school.
Because three years of math are needed to
graduate, I am forced to take Pre-Calculus as
my third year, and then either AP Statistics or AP Calculus if I want to take a fourth year. It is a wellspread myth that AP Statistics counts as a third

but according to the guidance office, colleges only look at it as an “extra” year, not a third. Nor

The high school guide... for college Whether college is something that is going to happen in the near future, or four years down the road, here’s what you should know now.
Freshman Get into volunteering. It looks great on college applications, and gives you an idea on what interests you have. Get out of your usual comfort zone of classes and take some new electives. Something new may turn out to be a new interest that you would have never known about. Senior Mykayla Hayes took an unexpected class and ended up enjoying it. “I had to take woodshop or sewing (to fill the credit requirements.) I decided to take woodshop, and I liked it. You’ll find stuff you didn’t really know you liked.” Keep up your grades. Even though it feels as if you are still in middle school, the grades go on your high school transcript which is seen by colleges.
Sophomore Think about taking the PSAT. Not only may it help qualify you to become a national merit scholar, but also give you an idea on how well you will do on the ACT. “To pay $21 to even have a slight chance at winning something like a $2,500 scholarship, it would be stupid not to take it,” junior Josh Boeschen said. Check out the club scene. Look at the bulletin boards around school to see when the next meeting is. Freshman Brian Brass is currently in marching band, and it has helped him feel more a part of the high school. “You get to meet new friends, get more comfortable with the school and I gained more social skills.”
Start thinking about what college you will want to go to. Somewhere close to home, with warm weather, big student population are all questions you want to ask yourself. Senior Nicole Straavaldson had to weigh all her options when considering which college she would be attending. “It was between University of Dubuque and North Dakota,” Straavadlson said. “It’s freezing up there, but money is the biggest priority. It’s way cheaper to go to North Dakota, so I’m going there.”
Junior Make sure you keep your grades up. This is the year colleges look at the most for your grades. Take the ACT. Most colleges take those scores, but some do not so make sure to check with the colleges you are applying to. Don’t freak out. If you still do not have an idea of what you want to do for a career or where you want to go to college, talk to a college advisor. “I went to someone because I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do,” senior Emma Henry said. “It was between law and medical school, and she told me with my personality, law school would fit me better. You have to pick and choose what advice you take, but I would recommend it.”
Senior Apply to college. Before January would be best, to get quality housing options. Apply for scholarships. If it applies in the littlest way, apply for it. If it is a scholarship for two people and only two apply, then you will get it. Take dual credit classes. They are not as intimidating as AP classes but save you a ton of money for college. Economics, advanced speech, or any foreign language class. Senior Elaine Kramme took French 4, giving her eight DMACC credits. “Basically they just help you prepare and get a sense of what it’s like at college. They’re not super hard but it’s still a good challenge.”
your RAI...
What the counselors have to say: Challenge yourself academically. Take a variety of courses and do well in whatever field your interested in. But be open to other studies as well. Colleges like well-rounded students.
This is the main thing that state colleges in Iowa look at. Most of them require a 245 to get acceptance. Here’s how you can find yours:
2 1
20
x grade point average +
5
x number of yearlong core classes (English, science, math, social studies, foreign languages) =
your score
Take the toughest classes you can in areas that interest you. GPA is not the most important factor for college acceptance. The level of your experiences will determine how far you can go.
Keep track of all your activities, awards, leadership positions, etc. from 9th-12th grade so you can fully market yourself to colleges and scholarship committees.
x ACT score +
x high school rank +
Get involved in school and community activities. Academics are important but not the sole factor colleges look at when admitting students.
Scholarship Central
1
Make a profile. It includes your interests, grades, activities, etc. This helps get personalized scholarships that pertain to you.
2
www.
Look for emails. Everytime new scholarship matches come up, you get sent an email telling you to check them out. Do not write off the emails, they are actually important.
3
Apply. Unless they are an obvious scam, apply for the littlest things. You never know what could come of something that took you a few minutes to do.
