College Fair

On Tuesday, October 4th, juniors, and seniors took a trip to Brandon High School to attend a local college fair. Students could meet with the admission counselors and representatives of each school to get more information on schools that interest them. The opportunity to talk to these people allowed the upperclassmen to network and form connections.  There was something there for every student to explore. There were both in and out-of-state choices like Mississippi State, Ole Miss, LSUA, and The University of Alabama in Huntsville. If looking to go a different route, community colleges Hinds and Holmes were there too. A Get2College table was set up for students to inquire about the steps to applying to college and scholarship information. Overall, this was a good chance for students to get a feel of what path they wanted to take after high school. Many could walk away with not only information but some cool swag as well.
