Juniors and your parents!!! Mark your calendars for "Now that You're a Senior" college planning evening on June 4th from 6-9. We'll begin with a student panel, and then offer workshops on financial aid, campus visits and interviewing, options beyond high school and apprenticeships and trades. Afterwards enjoy some ice cream and visit with presentatives from PSU, Mt.
