Counselor explains "senioritis": risks and consequences for graduating students
Summary
A school counselor described senioritis as a late-term drop in effort among seniors that can jeopardize graduation and academic standing.
During the video bulletin, a Rosemont High staff member explained "senioritis" as the decline in seniors' academic effort in the second half of the school year. The speaker, identified as Mr. Escobar, said seniors often fall behind and cited examples where students with straight A's slipped and had to spend months catching up to meet graduation requirements.
"You can fall behind really easily," Mr. Escobar said, noting that students who lose focus risk dropping grades and may need to work through the next three months to recover. The bulletin presented the comments as general guidance intended to remind seniors to stay on track; it did not provide specific counseling appointments, deadlines for grade recovery or district policies regarding grade reinstatement.
Students seeking support were not given a direct contact in the clip; the bulletin advised following normal school counseling channels but did not list them during the segment.
