College Friday is April 17th

posted ‎‎Mar 25, 2009 1:34 PM‎‎ by School Counselor

College Friday is coming up again this year!  It is a statewide college-awareness day celebrated at school districts all across the state.  This year the state day is April 3rd, while we are in spring break, so we have scheduled a “special” College Friday for us on FRIDAY April 17th.       

To help celebrate college awareness students and staff are encouraged to wear college logo apparel on April 17th.  Teachers will also be sharing their college experiences with students throughout the day.    A San Juan College Representative will also be on the High School campus through out the day doing presentations for all students grades 9-12.

Sophomore Summer Seminar Program!

HOBY programs are planned by people who believe in your ability to be a leader and affect the future for all of us.
