- All seniors should be using our Naviance online College Planning program to do college searches(for 2-year, 4-year, and technical schools), research schools, and enter schools to which they will be applying. All high school documents will be sent to colleges through the eDocs program on Naviance. Seniors applying to colleges should also set up an account with Common App at www.commonapp.org for those colleges/universities requiring the Common Application. Common App and Naviance are linked together so it is important that students fill out their Common Application, as well as fill out the FERPA waiver in order for school counselors to send documentation to colleges/universities. The link for Naviance is http://connections.naviance.com/berlin. Once on this link, students will put in their first name.last name for the username and then lowercase bhs and their student ID # for the password.
- All seniors will be exposed to both Comprehensive School Counseling lessons with their counselors and topics of discussion with their advisors through the Advisory program:
