🎓 College Fair Opportunity for GCHS Students!
On Wednesday, September 9, GCHS students will have the opportunity to attend the annual College Fair at the WACO Center at Glenville State University!
Representatives from two- and four-year colleges and universities from across West Virginia will be in attendance. Students will have the chance to:
• Speak directly with college recruiters
• Learn more about different colleges and programs
• Gather information about admissions, scholarships, and opportunities
• Apply to colleges on-site, if they choose to do so
But that’s not all! After the College Fair, Glenville State University will provide lunch for our students and give us a tour of campus. 🏫
To attend, students must pick up a permission form from the office. Permission forms must be returned to Mr. Reed no later than Friday, September 4, so the university can provide an accurate lunch headcount.
More information about the College Fair and the day’s schedule will be shared with students in the coming days. We hope to see you there!
