Hispanic Student College Fair @ Meadowcreek HS
Attention Hispanic students-seniors interested in attending the Hispanic College Fair on Oct 5th at Meadowcreek High School need to pick up the permission slip in the counseling office, have it signed by your teachers and a parent and return it to the counseling office by Wednesday September 29th. You must be in good academic, attendance, and disciplinary standings to attend. It is first come, first serve-the first 40 seniors. If there is extra space juniors may attend.
A bus will be provided leaving the high school at 9 AM and returning before 11 AM. 40-50 colleges will be represented. This is a terrific opportunity to talk to the Hispanic college representatives about educational and scholarship opportunities.
