NMHS College and Career Readiness Night

 Educational Services Center will be sponsoring "College and Career Readiness Night" for all 9th through 11th graders and their parents on Thursday, Feb. 2nd. Middle school-aged siblings are welcome and encouraged to attend, as well. 

The opportunity to meet face-to-face with a representative from a post-secondary school can be a key component to the application process. Providing the students with an opportunity to have that personal interaction with representatives is a way for them to establish a connection.

As every senior and their parents know, the college process can be a daunting task. "College and Career Readiness Night" is an effort on the part of the school to provide as much information to the students as possible so that they can make an informed decision about the direction of their future.

This event will feature representatives from eight different types of schools: a career training school, liberal arts college, university, the military, an art school, a music school, a technical institute and a community college. The Director of Admissions from Rutgers University, Nancy Pullen, will be present to answer questions. 

Each representative will speak for 5-10 minutes to the audience, explaining what their type of school has to offer and what sets them apart from other types of institutions. This will be followed by a question and answer panel session. 

Following the panel session, each school's representative will be assigned to a classroom where students and their parents will be able to speak with the representatives one-to-one.  

"College and Career Readiness Night" will be on Thursday, Feb. 2nd at 7pm in the High School Auditorium. There will be refreshments and brochures for all attendees.
