Seniors Visit Sinclair Community College

Greenville High School...

(Greenville) Thirty-six Greenville High School seniors recently visited Sinclair Community College in Dayton and the college’s branch campus in Englewood. The trip was sponsored by Sinclair Community College.

“This was the first time on a college campus for several of the high school seniors,” said Becky Curtis, GHS guidance counselor. She, along with GHS guidance counselors Krista Subler and Matt Sutter, and Bridges to College director Beth Sears, accompanied the students on the trip.

“Many times, community colleges offer the most affordable post-secondary option for students,” Sears said.

The students learned about many options, including certificate programs, two-year degrees, and transferring credits to a four-year university. Throughout the trip, the counselors talked with the students about different college options.

“College visits like these are an important part of the college selection process,” Sears said. “A college that feels right for one student may not feel right for another.”

After visiting the Dayton campus, the students boarded the bus and visited the Sinclair branch campus in Englewood. There, students learned that they can go through the college admissions process there as well as take many of Sinclair’s general education classes.

This is the second college visit that the GHS counselors have taken students on this fall. Both the GHS counselors and Bridges to College are trying to make students more aware of their college options, the college admissions process, and the financial aid process.
