Courtney Ewing here, signing off with my last post of this takeover! I ended the week in the best way possible - wrapping up senior meetings, one-on-one meetings to talk about college applications and different pathways, and doing CFNC career inventories with two classes!

Thanks for sticking around for this week’s takeover! We will be right back with your regularly scheduled programming with the NEXT takeover: @heidetraskcollegeadvising (Kevin Hogan) after a commercial break! ...

A rolling cart, transcripts, our recommendation Brag Sheet, a code to our Remind, some folding chairs, and my laptop - these are the things that have helped me in my mobile week! We are currently in the thick (cue the Backyardigans song “Into the Thick Of It”) of Senior Meetings, having met with over half of our seniors in just the last two days!

This time is a sweet time to get to meet seniors, hear their stories, and get to know their aspirations. We have seniors who want to be doctors, welders, lawyers, teachers, barbers, florists, physical therapists, and so, so much more! These meetings are the first step in creating plans to achieve these goals.

Also during these meetings, I talk with each senior about CFNC, RDS, and FAFSA. We’ve given each of our seniors information about “Show Me the Money” night - our first family night of the year, which discusses how to get FREE money for college and features a panel of experts in the field. And, to keep in touch, all seniors are signed up through our Remind! ...

Helloooooo, world! Hope you had a phenomenal Labor Day weekend! This is Courtney Ewing, first year adviser at Ayden-Grifton High School! I am BEYOND THRILLED to spend this week with you all!

While I am super excited to share about some wonderful opportunities we are preparing for at AGHS, I wanted to do a quick highlights reel of the past two weeks here! While the first two weeks of school are busy, busy, busy, they have held such sweetness for the Charger family.

From suiting up as Thor (my all-time favorite Marvel superhero) to attending the first home football game to welcoming students into my *brand new* office, the past two weeks at AGHS have been absolutely wonderful! So excited to take you all with me throughout my week as we charge towards excellence! ...

Last post of my Instagram takeover! As we round out our first week of school, I’ve gotten the college pennants up in the counseling hall and had my first-ever in-person college info lunch table! And just for fun, you can swipe right to see a picture of my Labradoodle wearing graduation tassels. ☺️ Have a great weekend and a fantastic school year, everyone! ...

Hi again! It’s Kiera Lindner, back for my Instagram takeover! It’s been a busy time at South Granville as we welcome students back in-person for the 21-22 school year. We recently had our Open House for new 9th and 10th-graders, and I had a great time presenting to them on different postsecondary pathways - and playing “Leaning Tower,” a game where students competed to build the highest “tower” they could using only what objects they had on their person. Students got really into it; our “world record” height was 85 inches high! Swipe to the end to see the new bulletin board in the counseling hall too. ...

It’s a good day for an Instagram takeover! My name is Kiera Lindner and I am the second-year adviser at South Granville HS in Granville County. We just started our 21-22 school year yesterday and there’s tons going on down here in the counseling hall! It’s crazy to remember that just a year ago I moved into this office for the first time.

Stay tuned for more peeks into some of the exciting things happening here at SGHS. ☺️ ...
