School Counseling News
Seniors: Counselors did Naviance/College Application lessons in all
12th grade English classrooms in September. Seniors are prepared
to use Naviance to manage their applications and deadlines. On
their home page is a step by step guide of the application pro-
cess. We are still meeting individually with our seniors to assist with
the college application process.
REMINDER: Students must send their own SAT and ACT scores to
colleges through the testing web sites.
To apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-
study, and loans, you need to complete the Free Application for Fed-
eral Student Aid (FAFSA®) form on or before March 1, 2020. Com-
pleting and submitting the FAFSA form is free and easier than ever.
Many states and colleges use your FAFSA information to determine
your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial
aid providers may use your FAFSA information to determine wheth-
er you qualify for their aid.
Counselors visited 9th grade classes to introduce ourselves, and to
get them thinking about careers and colleges via the 6 year planning
process.
Up Next: CCBC will be visiting Dulaney on November 26th to give an
information session on their programs and enrollment process.

CLASS OF 2020 DULANEY HIGH SCHOOL
GRAD GALA Dear Dulaney Parents, Guardians & Friends of Dulaney,
On Saturday, May 16, 2020 the class of 2020 will hold its senior prom, to be followed by the after prom
event, known as the Grad Gala. The Grad Gala is an off-campus, alcohol & drug free event. It is FREE to all
seniors and guests, even if they do not attend the senior prom. It draws more than 500 attendees each year
and is a fun and safe event for after prom.
In order to make Grad Gala 2020 an unforgettable experience, we need your help! The cost of the event is
usually over $25,000. The funds for this event are raised through donations from our business community.
The largest portion of the money, however, comes from donations made by families and friends of Dulaney.
This includes families of all grades. Please consider making a $50 donation or any amount you feel comfort-
able with, to support this event. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and the key to making our 2020 Grad
Gala a fun and safe alternative for our seniors.
