Mrs. Foraker and Mr. Krahling discuss the traditional (HS graduate goes straight to a 4-year University) and Transfer (HS graduate goes to Community College for the first 2 years of college then transfers to a university). 

Mr. Krahling reviewed items specific to traditional route planning and requirements. Mrs. Foraker reviewed the benefits of starting at community college.

Both counselors strongly recommend all students look closely at all options including the transfer route.

No matter what pathway a student chooses, both counselors strongly recommend attending a new student orientation and meeting with the college counselor immediately and often to make the best choices for your education.
