A one day bootcamp featuring several workshops and amazing speakers that gave guidance for high school students on how to prepare for college. Some workshop topics that were selected for this year were not ordinary information that high school students would have known about getting ready to select the college they want to attend. Over 100 students and parents registered online to attend this event.[/pt_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][pt_marginblock margin=”50″ measure=”px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][pt_text]Students had opportunities to attend various workshops.
