Welcome, Class of 2025 and Families!
We are happy to partner with you to make Senior Year special! The list below is provided as a courtesy by the PTSO; payments are not collected by PTSO nor does the PTSO profit from sales (unless noted).
Step 1: Pay Class Dues
Dues are required to be paid in order to be eiligible for a parking pass, prom tickets, and graduation tickets. Students who have not paid their Class Dues will not be able to purchase prom tickets. These dues are set by the Class Council and collected online by Crofton High School (not the PTSO) and used to fund prom, graduation, cookout after graduation practice, & more. Please contact Assistant Principal Ms. Detman or Class Sponsor Ms. Hamilton with questions. Thank you!
From the Counseling Office
The ASVAB is being offered to any 10th, 11th, or 12th graders at Crofton High School on November 21st. Please have your student sign up in Naviance under College Visits if they are interested in taking the ASVAB.
Colleges and universities are eager to meet our exceptional Cardinals! Students can sign up for college visits through Naviance. We encourage you to regularly check the list of upcoming visits in Naviance under the "What's New" section on your homepage or by clicking on "College Visits" under the Colleges header. If you have specific schools in mind, be sure to add them to your "Colleges I'm Thinking About" and/or "Colleges I'm Applying To" lists in Naviance for automatic updates on colleges of interest. Additionally, college visits will be advertised on the television screens around the school and in senior and junior homerooms each Monday.
The Crofton High School Counseling Department highly recommends taking advantage of the opportunity to meet with a college representative from any school you are considering attending. This will allow you to meet face-to-face with a representative, ask specific questions, and express your interest in attending their institution. College visits will take place in the College and Career Center (room B375) from 9:35am-10:10am or during Cardinals Connect (11:15am-11:50am).
Below is a list of colleges and universities that have signed up for visits this month (subject to change):
11/12 - Lincoln Technical Institute-Lincoln, 9:35 am
11/13 - Lincoln University, 9:35 am
11/13 - Frostburg State University, 11:15 am
11/14 - Bowie State University, 11:15 am
11/15 - Loyola University Maryland, 11:15 am
You can view the full list of upcoming college visits in Naviance. If you have any questions about college visits, please reach out to your school counselor or contact Ms. Cantine.
Thank you, CrHS School Counseling Department
