Last week, Sherwood counselors visited 10th grade classrooms to share a presentation highlighting countywide programs and opportunities, including Edison High School of Technology and Early College / Dual Enrollment at Montgomery College. The application window for these programs is now open, so this is a great time for students to learn about their options!
Families can review the presentation here. In addition, Heather Bradley from Edison will visit Sherwood on October 14 to meet with interested students, and Edison will also host an upcoming Open House on October 15. Registration information is available in the presentation.
