College Prep Day Success! On July 11, 40+ class of 2025 seniors came to our first ever summer college prep day. At this event, students were able to hear from five of our college partners about topics related to the college application process including scholarships, researching schools to attend, what colleges look for in a student, and more. Students were also able to talk one-on-one with our college representatives about their schools. Senior counselor, Candace Young, came up with the idea for this event in the Spring as a way for students to get ahead of the curve when it comes to applications which will start opening in mid-August. We very much appreciate our college representatives who took time out of their summer to come be with our students today: Emily Griffith from The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Austin Keel from Auburn University, Jill Chambers and Jeremiah Smith from The University of North Alabama, Emry Summerville from The University of Alabama, and Mitchel Kirkpatrick and Allison Hyde from Northwest Shoals Community College. It was the first year of what I hope will be many years of this event!
