Located in the guidance office, you can speak with Mrs. Meskunas or Mrs. Lingerfelt.  There is a Senior Recommendation Packet located under the Planning for College section of our website.  This is a good resource to take when you go speak with one of these ladies.  Kaleb Owens, our career coach, is also located in guidance.

We send these through an online portal.  Look under the Parents and Students tab on James Clemens' website and select TRANSCRIPT.  It will be sent electronically unless you request to pick up your copy in person.  The first two copies will be sent for free and additional copies may be sent for a small service charge.  If you simply need to view your transcript and not for it to be sent officially, you can do this by looking under HISTORICAL GRADES via PowerSchool.  Your GPA and class rank should be viewable along with courses and grades.

Lana Meskunas is our college and career counselor.  When filling out college admissions or scholarship information, she is the counselor you list for this process.  For dual enrollment courses while in high school, contact your other designated counselor; however, for post high school graduation purposes, Mrs. Meskunas is the counselor you should visit.  She is available in the summer for appointments.

It is helpful to have the Senior Recommendation Packet and your resume when speaking about scholarshps and college applications.  Also, when applying to schools, remember to request for your transcript to be send through the Transcript Request link on our website.  It can be located under the Parents and Students tab or on the left side of the guidance section of our webpage.  The Senior Recommendation Packet can be found under the College Planning and Resources section.

         You are free to ask about scholarships at any point during your high school years.  However, most students begin asking specific questions around the end of their junior year.  Most college scholarship deadlines occur during a student's senior year.  Typically, university endowed scholarships and academic scholarships have deadline dates of around the first of December.  National scholarships have deadlines in the fall as well.  More locally based scholarships given by individuals or groups have deadlines more in the spring semester.  Keep a check on our school website and along with any university's website that you plan on attending for updated scholarship deadlines.  There are resources available on our College Planning and Resources page that give good timelines on what to do when--- applying to universities, applying for scholarships, etc.

Students can use their Kuder accounts to have access to many scholarships to which they are eligible.  All of these suggested scholarships are vetted and safe for student use.  Have students use the link below to access their Kuder accounts.  The scholarship link is available on the left side of the screen once students login.
