Panel Wisdom

Last night was the Junior Student and Parent college information night. It was a long, but informative evening featuring a panel discussion by senior students who have survived their senior year and are nearing the end of their high school career and a senior parents talking about their experiences in navigating the adventures of senior year with their student. The participants did a great job giving honest viewpoints about what to expect in the upcoming year for the juniors and their parents.
A very special thank you to Sachi O., Kayla N., Sam J., Corey M., Anna L., and Becca A. for their participation on the "Senior Survivor" panel. These students represented a variety of different college choices - different sizes of schools in different areas of the country. In addition to the student panel were the parent panel participants - Mike Bassani (dad to Harrison), Karen Meador (mom to Kaitlyn), and Sharon Butler (mom to Alex). Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and insight!

I was also excited to see so many of "my" juniors in the audience tonight along with your parents. Hopefully you were able to gain helpful insight from those who have walked this path and that you feel ready and excited to take on your senior year. Remember that I am always here to help you in any way that I can.
