It’s that time of year: college applications, acceptance letters, and meetings with military recruiters. Seniors at Byron-Bergen Sr. High School are a little better prepared for what is to come after graduation, thanks to local counselors, businesses, managers, and members of the military who visited for the school’s annual Senior Experience Day.
Approximately 80 seniors took part in the late-November morning full of informational sessions designed to prepare students for their post-secondary life. The sessions covered a variety of topics ranging from transitioning to college, to credit cards and credit ratings, to understanding the military, and even overcoming ‘senioritis.’
Members of the Genesee County Economic Development Center presented information to the students about the Science and Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP) project and about all of the job opportunities that are expected to come to the area.
Interim Principal Patrick McGee said these real-world experiences are important for students to learn. “Senior Experience Day is a great way for students to learn about college and career opportunities,” he said. “It is very important that we provide as many experiences as possible to our students that promote college and career readiness.”
