College and Career Night at Pedro Menendez High School

The St. Johns County School District has invited Historic City News readers to its annual College and Career Night on Wednesday, September 9 from 6-7:30 p.m. in the gymnasium at Pedro Menendez High School located at 600 State Road 206 West, St. Augustine.

College and Career Night provides an excellent opportunity for high school students from both public and private schools in the district to receive firsthand information on post-secondary educational opportunities. Representatives from over 80 colleges, universities, armed services, career institutes and trade schools will be participating in this event.

“This event is one in which we are able to bring post-secondary representatives from our state and from across the nation,” Denise Faulk, director of Guidance and Programs of Choice and the event’s coordinator. “It’s a great time for our students and families to explore opportunities and gather information in a one-stop shop environment.”

While this event traditionally focuses on juniors and seniors, underclassmen are also encouraged to attend. Many colleges have very selective admissions criteria and students should start planning early. The latest information about the college admissions process, program offerings as well as scholarship and financial aid will also be available.

For more information, please contact your school’s guidance department or call Jennifer Secure in the Department of Guidance and Choice at (904) 547-8083 and visit http://www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/gpc/guidance/
