Extracurricular activities


It is important that you begin to think about the items that should appear on your resume and to track from the beginning what you have accomplished. Save samples of your work, newspaper clippings, and copies of your grades and place them in the permanent record you are keeping. Items to think about include:

  • Honors
  • Organizations
  • Clubs
  • Sports
  • Participation
  • Volunteer activies
  • Employment

The first draft of your resume must be e-mailed to Ms. Nurse by no later than October of your Senior year. Many students complete the first draft process at the end of their Junior year.
