Please turn in a rough draft, and a typed final copy.
Senior Vita
A vita, Latin for “life, is a summary of your high school academic life. Do not include items prior to your high school career. This important document is used for college applications and scholarship committees. You will need to keep a copy for yourself so you can update it as events/awards occur this year. I will give your counselor a copy for your file.
The format is similar to a job resume. Start with your name, address, city, state, zip, phone number centered.
Next, discuss your Graduation Endorsements (DAP, Recommended, etc).
The next section is for your GPA.
Include your class rank and standardized college entrance exam scores.
List your Honors and Awards next (academic and extra-curricular).
Then, list your extra-curricular activities. List them like this (Varsity Football 4
years). Include your senior year if you plan to stay in the activity.
Community Service goes next. (This does not include any court ordered
community service projects).
The next section is your work experience with the most recent stated first.
It should look like:
August 2007 to Present Certified Cashier at Brookshire Grocery Company
Summer 2006 Mowed lawns in my neighborhood.
The last section is for your expected college(s). This may include more than one
institution since you are still in the process of making up your mind.
You can also include military service or technical school, if that is a part o of your future plans.
