Late September brings college-related activities that should interest seniors and college-bound students, including next week’s College Go Week.

Health academy Counselor Amy Colangelo stated, “College Go Week is a week to get students excited and in the know of college.” 

It’s a time where colleges may waive fees on applications and have scholarships available. 

Colangelo said, “It’s an important introduction to college. And it’s an easy way to apply to multiple colleges at once.”

JHS will offer the following opportunities for college-bound students and their families:

Thursday, Sept. 19: JHS offers College Info Night in the JHS Commons from 6-8 p.m.

According to the Counseling Department, the College Info Night will include 25-minute breakout sessions on:

Friday, Sept. 20:  A FSA ID creation event in the JHS Media Center from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
