The ultimate goal of our College & Career Academy class is to help our students explore all of their options after high school and help them feel more confident as they make their plans for higher education. Thank you, Shaylee, for your heartfelt testimony! 🥰 We wish you the best of luck in your senior year!
"I feel that the College and Career Academy class helped me understand my post-high school plans, especially the financial issues. I am going to have to pay for my own college, and that means that I had to have a plan for how to pay off those fees through scholarships, grants, and some of my own hard work. I plan to have a career where I have to be in school for a while, and being able to learn in a more affordable environment is a big help. Some advice I would give to underclassmen is to start thinking about plans after high school even though they may change. Researching what you may do after high school can help you discover ideas and options that you may eventually need when making the final decision. I never truly knew what I wanted to do until late in my junior year, but I continued to consider all of my future options that helped narrow down my choice.
People should support the Education Foundation because it allows for hundreds of students to be able to continue their education with less debt and a more concrete plan for the future. Thank you for providing students with a chance to further their education!" -Shaylee Ostercamp, Class of 2027 🎓
