“I loved going on the college field trip! It was fun and informative. We saw the dorms, got a tour of the college and ate lunch in the school dining hall. It was an experience I will never forget.”-Marvin, 8th
“I enjoyed making the recruiting video for our college. It was fun doing the research with a group and creating a video for the class to watch. We got to watch all of the videos from the class and got to hear about colleges I had never even heard of.”-Kellie, 8th
“We learned about habits and how to change a bad habit. That was hard and not much fun, but I finally stopped playing on my phone instead of doing homework. My mom was happy.”- Macy, 8th
“After taking this class I do feel very prepared for high school. I have a clear path of what I want to do in college and my top 3 schools are picked out. I also know what scholarships I want to apply for and when to apply for financial aid.”-David, 8th
