Greenville High
School Seniors visit IU-East
(Greenville) Twenty-one Greenville High School seniors recently visited
Indiana University – East in Richmond, Ind. The trip was sponsored by
IU-East.
“During the college visit, the students learned about the admissions
process, financial aid, college life, and careers and majors,” said
Becky Curtis, GHS guidance counselor and coordinator of the trip.
The seniors participating in the trip have expressed an interest in
college through their participation in Advance College Project
coursework at GHS or participation in the Bridges to College mentoring
program.
Before the trip, the students were given information about college
visits and questions to ask when visiting colleges.
“This was a great experience for the students because much of the
information provided could apply to other colleges,” said Beth Sears,
executive director of Bridges to College. Bridges to College is a
non-profit organization that helps more students go to college. It
serves Greenville and Ansonia students.
“We encourage students to explore different colleges and visit
campuses,” Sears said. “It’s important that students find the right
fit.”
“As a guidance department, we just want students to have more exposure
to college options so they can make informed decisions,” said Becky
Curtis.
Also participating in the trip were GHS teachers Shelia Reichard and
Amy Davis. Both teachers teach Advance College Project (ACP) courses at
GHS. Students who successfully complete ACP coursework are eligible to
earn college credit.
