Senior Newsletter (September 2024)

🎓 As Winston Churchill once said "Plans are a little important, but planning is essential". For many students and parents, the college planning and application process may seem overwhelming. However, the college search and selection journey can be an educational adventure, serving as a time for personal growth, increasing self-understanding, and beginning goal setting. It's important to note that post-secondary education doesn't have to be limited to a four-year university or college. Options include career technical education, vocational education, and community college.
