Educators team up to
make college a reality
The KnowHow2GO (to college) Lorain County campaign kicks
off with a series of parent and student information nights
targeting students currently enrolled in grades 6-11. These
free, public meetings promise to be filled with surprises and
prizes for students who participate, as well as:
-
Reinforce the importance and value of education and training
beyond high school
-
Share the KnowHow2GO planning tools, as well as other
valuable resources like ACT, SAT, OCAN, Ohio Board of
Regents, and scholarship programs
-
Inform students and parents about college and career
programs available to students beginning as early as 9th
grade, such as PSEO, Early College High School, College Tech
Prep, the Teacher Education Exploration Program, Project
Lead the Way and more.
-
Feed student creativity with the opportunity to create a
graffiti mural with local graffiti artist Bob Peck
The information sessions will be held: Wednesday, November
16, 6:30-8 p.m., Lorain County Community College, College
Center.
The U.S. Department of Education reports that eight out of 10
high school students expect to attain a bachelor’s degree or
higher. To them, college is seen as the ticket to personal and
professional success. But despite their aspirations, many
students are unaware of opportunities available during high
school to assist them in their preparation.
While the high schools work very hard to inform students and
parents about how to go to college, some students just don’t
believe they are college material, are overwhelmed by the
process, or discouraged by perceived costs of attending college.
The KnowHow2GO campaign helps Lorain County students
navigate the path to college.
All students in grades 6-11 and their parents are encouraged to
attend one of these information sessions. Registration is
encouraged but not required.
