Local high school juniors and seniors from across the area were in attendance to listen to presentations, receive personal consultations and locate essential information to help them realize their higher education dreams.

ENG StudentsSenator Lightford's successful mission to pass a law that limits expulsions and suspensions in public schools has gained momentum across the country, as other states have also passed laws to make sure that all students, of all backgrounds, are in the classroom and of the street as much as possible.
The issue has recently received special attention due to a Texas student being arrested and subsequently suspended for bringing a home-made clock to school to show his teachers who mistook the clever device for a bomb.

Follow the link to the story below for a closer look.
