Join us for an Evening with Student Speakers from Class of 2012 with their tips on what worked for them during the college admissions season.  Advice from Carli Kim, Class of 2013 Administrator and guidance from Katherine Geers, Faculty.  Panelists answer your questions and get you started on a student centered admissions journey.  

Mission: SOS welcomes Amy Drolete to MSJHS presenting "Purpose & College Admissions"  What is your purpose in life?  How do you find a school that aligns with who you want to be?  Parents and students are often mystified on why a school takes one student and rejects another when what they have been taught to believe matters seems to make little difference in this process.  Ms. Drolette shares what she has learned working with high school seniors for ten years and during her time with USC admissions.    

Kick off your summer college search with us!!!
