Smethport High School Senior Portfolio
The purpose of the Senior Portfolio is to gather information you and Mrs. Smith will need for colleges, recommendations and scholarships. The information here should set you apart. It summarizes things about you that are important to colleges, and includes information needed for applications and recommendations. This information can easily be transformed into a Senior Resume if needed. You can delete unneeded topics and use this document as a resume.
Take time to complete this portfolio. It should be saved to your school file and updated frequently. Make copies and use them for college visits and when completing applications.
Please complete this portfolio before asking Mrs. Smith for a recommendation but at the latest before Thanksgiving vacation. The spring scholarship committee uses these portfolios during the scholarship decision meeting. As you complete the portfolio or update it, bring a copy to be filed in the guidance office.
