A Parent's Guide to Senior Year: For Parents of the High School Class of 2027

Senior year can feel like a race to make sure students know everything they need before they leave home, but Tommy emphasizes that being ready and being prepared are not always the same thing. Students may be excited for independence while still needing to develop practical skills like managing money and time, communicating with professors, building healthy community, and taking ownership of their faith. The Launch Mission Podcast aims to help parents introduce these conversations before challenges arise, giving students a framework for navigating them rather than trying to prevent every problem. Throughout Season 5, parents will hear from college experts, professors, ministry leaders, admissions professionals, authors, and actual college students about the transition into adulthood. Most importantly, Tommy encourages parents to use the podcast as a starting point for meaningful conversations and to gradually move from managing their student's life toward becoming a trusted advisor.
