COLLEGE READINESS

is a goal for all HFA students. College acceptance is a graduation requirement for Henry Ford Academy students. 

Getting off to a good start academically is very important and is stressed by all staff members. Striving for a strong GPA is vital and will allow students more college choices in the future.

Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities by getting involved with groups, clubs or teams they are interested in. This encourages students to not only have fun, but to meet others who share their interests and to become a well-rounded student. Skills and interests should be discussed with the guidance counselor through an individual appointment or during the EDP process. 

Finally, all freshmen will have the opportunity to visit a four-year college located in Michigan.
