Prepare for your Day

Your role as a prospective student or parent is crucial in making the most of the Ram for a Day experience. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

1. Research John Carroll High School: Familiarize yourself with our school's website, programs, and values. This will help you understand what to expect and prepare questions.

2. Dress Appropriately: Wear comfortable, school-appropriate clothing. 

3. Bring Necessary Materials: Carry a notebook and pen to jot down notes or questions. Bring a book in case there is a test or non-instructional time schedule on your shadow day.  You might also want to bring a water bottle and a small snack.

4. Prepare Questions: Consider what you want to know about JCHS. Questions about academics, extracurricular activities, and student life are great starting points.

5. Be Open and Engaged: Show interest in the classes and activities you participate in. Engage with students and teachers, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

6. Observe and Reflect: Pay attention to the school environment, teaching styles, and student interactions. Reflect on how you feel in the space and whether it aligns with what you're looking for.

7. Follow-Up: After your scheduled day, take some time to review your notes and reflect on your experience. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact the admissions office.
