The Journey Ahead
While you are a junior high school student, college is probably not at the forefront of your mind. However, there are things you should know and be prepared to ask before starting high school that can set you up for success in the future.Ìý There are programs and partnerships with community colleges that allow you to work toward a certificate or degree while you are attending high school at little or no cost to you. It is well worth it to be educated on what is available to you over the next four years through your school.Ìý
