In an effort to increase college readiness, the Guidance Department at the Massapequa High School–Ames Campus took 30 ninth graders to College Awareness Day at Adelphi University. The group toured the campus, spoke to college students, addressed questions to admissions representatives and even sampled lunch.
The trip gave students the opportunity to see what college life is like, the majors that are available, and the university’s academic expectations. The trip was a culmination of the department’s effort to supplement the education students receive about career-planning. In addition, the entire freshman class will learn about a host of careers from accomplished Massapequa graduates during the 7th Annual Alumni Career Day scheduled for Friday, April 25.
