College Visits

Colleges and universitites visit Godwin throughout the year to talk with interested students.  Here is the schedule of college visits for this school year.  If students are interested, they need to fill out the form to get a pass for common study 
 

SchoolLinks

We are excited to introduce SchooLinks, our new college and career readiness platform for students!  SchooLinks is designed to help students stay organized and on track throughout the college application process. This year, seniors will use SchooLinks to request transcripts and letters of recommendation, as well as track application requirements and deadlines. Please note that SchooLinks is not an application portal—students will still submit applications through platforms such as Common App or directly through colleges.

For more information and step-by-step guidance, please review the resources below:
 • SchooLinks Guide: https://bit.ly/SchooLinksGuide
 • SchooLinks Step-by-Step Presentation: https://bit.ly/SchooLinksPresentation
We look forward to supporting your student throughout this exciting process. Please reach out to your school counselor with any questions!

  • All game attendees must pass through weapons scanners, and all bags are subject to search.

  • Any attendant who is 18 years of age or under, other than Godwin students with student IDs, must be accompanied by an adult who is 21 years of age or older and remain with this adult for the entire game. Any attendee under the age of 18 who is found to be apart from their accompanying adult at any point may be asked to leave and may be banned from attending future HCPS athletic events. 
     
  • Students or other patrons who do not comply with these expectations may be prohibited from entering the stadium, may be asked to leave, and/or may be prohibited from attending any future HCPS athletic events.
