Future Focus - Future Focus' mission is to help make the transition from high school to college as easy as possible for students and parents. The path to the right college is filled with many choices, sometimes difficult and sometimes unexpected. We help to answer all of your questions and assist you with creating your list of colleges, preparing your applications, and getting ready for college. Future Focus is dedicated to all aspects of the college preparation and application process. In addition to assisting with college selection and application, we also provide guidance on high school class choices, whether or not to take AP classes, when to take SAT, ACT and subject tests, how to get maximum financial aid and much more. Future Focus has developed a curriculum to help students dramatically improve their SAT and ACT scores and improve their chances of getting accepted to colleges and receiving top merit aid awards.

Donnelly Fenn (Founder/Consultant) -  Future Focus Educational Services was launched in December, 1996, in Mt. Shasta, CA, by Donnelly Fenn. Donnelly had taken early retirement in 1989 from his position as counselor at West Torrance High School in So. Calif. In the interim he taught English for one year in Poland, served as Program Manager for the University of Phoenix and eventually as a Career Assessment Specialist for a federal job training program. In 1997 he bought The College Connection in the Rogue Valley from Joyce Winkler, who was retiring after 15 highly successful years, and established an office in Ashland where he and his wife eventually moved in 2001. With master's degrees in both Educational Counseling and Music Education, Donnelly worked with as many as 60 seniors a year until 2012 when he retired. He continues to support Future Focus as a consultant.
