Hicksville High School students and their parents broadened the scope of their college search and learned more about the application process during the annual District College Fair. Students were given the opportunity to discuss academic programs, acceptance criteria and campus life with representatives from 70 different institutions, including Penn State University, Colgate University, Emory University, St. John’s University and the University of Notre Dame. Students were advised prior to the two-hour event to factor in location, academic major, campus size, competitiveness and cost when considering application to a college or university.
Five informative workshops designed to assist in the college application process were presented during the course of the evening. Guidance counselors ran sessions on student-athletes and the NCAA, ninth- and 10th-grade graduation planning, the application process during senior year, the junior year timetable, and how to best use the Internet to improve college and career planning.
