Barton will help area high school juniors plan for their futures at Junior Day, starting at 9 a.m. Feb. 14, with a sign-up deadline of Feb. 1. Those interested can sign up at .
Junior Day will feature campus tours, observing the college classroom setting and scholarship drawings. Most importantly, students and parents can learn the countless benefits of attending 鶹 prior to attending a four-year college or, if they choose a career path, before entering the workforce.
This year, the Admissions Department will be giving away three scholarships: one $1000 scholarship and two $500 scholarships.
Director of Admissions Tana Cooper encourages all juniors in the area to attend, even if they intend to go straight to a four-year school.
“Regardless of your plans, our advisors can help you take a detailed look at your future plans, and what courses and career paths you might want to pursue,” she said. “It is a great idea to at least come and visit.”
Cooper said there are many students who may not know about 鶹 and it’s definitely worth their time to see what 鶹 has to offer.
“鶹 offers many of the same classes as four-year schools, but at about half the cost, and some of 鶹’s career and technical programs take only a year to complete and can lead to a rewarding career,” she said.“Some students may already think they are going elsewhere, but it never hurts to come and visit. It’s a fun and free day.”
