Duluth East High School
October/November 2018
A musical about the real lives of noted
criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
seems an unlikely source for a knee-slapping
good time. But as you’ll see when you attend
Duluth East High School’s production
of Bonnie & Clyde, the bluesy, sometimes
gospel, songs from the show will leave you
humming tunes about going to jail, surviving
the Great Depression, and even about
untimely deaths.
This musical does not make light of the
devastation their crime spree leaves, but Bonnie & Clyde shows the
development of a romance, the struggle of living during hard times,
and the final consequences of our title characters and their families
when the law finally catches up with them.
For one weekend only, you have a chance to be part of the lives of
Bonnie and Clyde in Duluth East’s auditorium. Shows are at 7 P.M.,
Thursday, October 25 through Saturday, October 27 with an
additional matinee on Sunday, October 28 at 1 P.M. See it early
because you’ll want to come back and bring friends to enjoy these
talented actors and musicians. Full of song and sorrow, romance and
raucousness, you’ll be talking about this show for a long time.
Bonnie & Clyde Comes to East

FROM YOUR CAREER CENTER Career Center Co-Coordinators
CAREER CENTER NEWS!
The Career Center is the place to get help and information about plans for after high school. You will
find us as soon as you enter the building in room 1001, sandwiched between the main office and the
guidance office. Sandra Rich and Colleen Holliday, Career Center Coordinators, and 16 helpful parent
volunteers are available Monday through Thursday from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. They can answer
questions about colleges and other training programs to prepare for future careers. They can also link
students to help in areas such as tutors, volunteer and paid jobs, study abroad, scholarship searching and
financial aid plus summer programs. Students and parents are encouraged to stop in.
If you can’t stop in, you can find information on East website under Counseling.
In October, ALL JUNIORS, during WIN, received a Career Center/Guidance Counselor presentation
concerning post-secondary options … life after high school. The goal is for every student to have a plan
for their future when they graduate. This takes time … JUNIORS need to start their planning process NOW. Juniors
and their parents need to be visiting colleges NOW. Senior year is busy right from the start with paperwork:
applications, essays, getting recommendations, transcripts, scholarship searching and applying, etc. So junior year is for
the footwork necessary for a successful senior year. All juniors received a folder full of information at our presentation.
Ask your student to share it with you and start your family discussions. (If you need a duplicate folder, stop in the
Career Center.)
The Career Center has many print and online resources to guide students in choosing a career path. They have all the
information needed regarding colleges and universities nationwide as well as diverse technical and apprenticeship
programs and military options. We also has a very comprehensive web page providing direct links to colleges, financial
aid information, scholarship searches and career guidance. Stop in anytime Monday through Thursday!
Parents of JUNIOR Students:
In November, a long-standing tradition at East High School continues. The
Career Center and Guidance Office will be sponsoring the 20h Annual Giving
Tree Project. Learning to “give back” is an important concept and our students
are great about rallying to the challenge. East students are encouraged to stop by
and pick a "Snowman Tag" off the tree. Each tag has a needy child’s name, age,
and a gift suggestion. Gifts are then purchased and wrapped by the students and
returned to the Career Center with the snowman tag attached to the outside. The
recipients are children whose names have been submitted to us by faculty at Stowe
and Laura MacArthur Elementary Schools as well as from Women's Transitional
Housing Coalition and Washington ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education).
The East community donates up to 350 gifts to Duluth children every year!
Giving Tree Time is Coming!

During the junior
year you are faced
with a number of
tests that you must
consider taking.
ACT – American College of Testing
Program: This college entrance exam is
used for admission to Minnesota schools and
all but a handful of colleges in the United
States. Local scholarship committees use
the results in making selections. Juniors may
take this test in April and June. Dates for
seniors: September 8, October 27,
December 8 and February 9.
SAT This College Entrance Examination
Board Test is used for entrance to many
colleges around the country, especially on
the east or west coast. It is offered to juniors
in May and June. Dates for seniors
November 3 and December 1.
ASVAB- Armed Services Vocational
Aptitude Battery: Although the military
services use the ASVAB to help determine
placement in occupational specialties, it is
widely used outside the military for
determining a student’s likes and dislikes. It
can be very helpful for students considering
a 2 year college or apprenticeships. Visit
www.march2success.com for practice tests.
Most recruiting offices will provide testing.
Most colleges in the Midwest prefer
scores from the ACT as their admissions test
requirement. However, there are some
exceptions for certain colleges, so we urge
you to check the college catalog or their
website to learn which test is required.
Counselors can help you with this decision.
Public colleges tend to require the ACT
for admission and private colleges, mostly
on the East coast, lean toward the SAT.
(Many of these colleges now will take either
test.) Another reason for taking these tests is
for your own information. ACT results come
in five categories – Math, English, Social
Studies, Science and Writing. This
information can assist you in making career
or college decisions. Colleges will publish
the ACT and SAT test scores of their
freshman class which helps a prospective
student know how they will fit academically
at a particular school.
There are other situations apart from
admission and personal information that
would require one of these tests. Be aware
of these as you check requirements for
scholarships and specific programs. Also
note critical deadlines. We suggest that in
the fall you check the dates of these tests and
complete appropriate applications.
We strongly advise seniors to take tests on
the earliest possible dates in the fall. It
usually takes several weeks to get test results
and this can hold up your application
process. Remember, many colleges and
scholarships make their selections early and
acceptance gets tighter and more difficult as
their open slots fill.
What Do I Need to Know About Testing?
Page 4 DULUTH EAST HIGH SCH OOL
When you’re ready to apply to the schools you’ve chosen, use the following questions to keep track of the
process: start early, and allow plenty of time before deadlines. Reminder: many colleges have a December 15
application deadline.
Do you know exactly how to complete each item on the application form? Read all
instructions carefully before you start.
Have you checked to be sure you answered all the items on the application?
Have you kept copies of all forms, applications and letters you have sent?
Have you requested a transcript for each application submitted? Remember to have
CITS coursework transcripts sent from each respective college.
Have you given Brag Sheets and the personal reference forms (if required) to the
person you have asked to write a recommendation for you? Have they been
completed and sent? (Allow 2 weeks minimum.)
Have you had the required test scores (ACT or SAT) sent to each school? Do you
need to send other scores, like A.P.?
Do you plan to apply for financial aid? If so, have you completed and sent the
proper forms or the school’s own forms?
Have you checked on merit-based scholarships offered by the school that you might
qualify for?
Have you had an on-campus interview or audition (if required or suggested)?
Have you checked on housing applications? Some housing deadlines are very early.
Have you checked all admission information to see whether the school(s) requires
any further action?
Each school will notify you whether or not you’ve been admitted and granted financial aid. Read these
letters carefully to find the date by which you must accept or reject the offer and if a money deposit is
required. Most colleges and universities will allow you to delay your response until May 1, but check with
them to be sure. Other schools may require a more immediate response.
Now you will need to choose the one school you think is best. Evaluate each school on the factors that are
important to you, including financial aid. When you make your final choice, be sure to notify the schools you
don’t plan to attend.
The Application Countdown
Page 5 DU LUT H E AS T HI GH S CH OOL
East is encouraging all students to participate in a
program which offers scholarship dollars to students based
on achievements throughout high school.
The program is called raise.me, and currently over 250
colleges nation-wide are participating. Students must create
an account and add things that they have done throughout
high school. Students can earn money for earning A’s and
B’s in courses, doing an official campus visit, participating
in extra-curricular activities,, leadership and community
service involvement, etc. The only merit requirement for
participation is a 3.2 core GPA.
Among the many colleges giving students TUITION
DOLLARS for their achievements are UNIVERSITY OF
MINNESOTA - Duluth and Twin Cities, University of St
Thomas and Gustavus Adolphus! The student’s profile is
due to UMD by November 1 of their senior year. Students
can create an account as early as their freshman year in
high school and are able to enter achievements starting
from that point. At UMD, students can earn up to $12,000,
and the scholarship will be divided among their four years.
Students can earn even more at other colleges and
universities.
Visit www.raise.me to sign up!
Micro-Scholarships Available Through Raise Me
The Share My App Program works like this: Applicants who have submitted a complete admission application to the
Twin Cites campus may also be considered for admission at one or more of the U of M's other campuses (Crookston,
Duluth, Morris, and Rochester) with no additional application and no additional application fee.
Students living in the United States or Canada who submit a complete application to the Twin Cities campus will
receive an invitation from the University of Minnesota to also consider the University of Minnesota's other campuses.
All students will be directed to the following website: http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/apply/sharemyapp.html
After a student’s request to participate is received, the student's Twin Cities' campus application is shared with and
reviewed by the campus(s) they selected. That campus then communicates directly with the student regarding the
admission decision.
After the Share My App notices are sent, the system’s campus colleagues are available to talk with students about
the Share My App program. If students have questions about the Share My App Program or the individual system
campuses, they may contact each campus directly for more information.
University of Minnesota, Crookston: 1-800-862-6466
University of Minnesota, Duluth: 1-800-232-1339
