Are you looking for help as to how, when, and where to start your college search? Is this your first child graduating from high school and you don’t know where to begin? Is this your last child graduating from high school and you’re worried that the rules have changed?
The WHS Guidance Department has created an informative presentation supported by PowerPoint that will help answer some of the major questions associated with the early stages of planning for college, searching for a college, and ultimately selecting a college. A brief exploration of current technology based college planning will also be highlighted.
This event is meant to provide a general overview of many of the aspects related to college planning. Timelines, entrance requirements, student preparedness, are just a few examples of topics that will be presented at this event. Registration is required.
