Dear Pirate Family, 

Next week (Sept. 21-25) is College Go Week. It’s also known as College Application Week for seniors in high school. This means that many Indiana universities and colleges waive their application fee so students can apply to the college of their choice for free. Seniors all around our area will be participating in this exciting week.

At CMS, 7th and 8th grade students begin exploring their future paths. Whether you’re considering college, entering the workforce, pursuing on-the-job training, or joining the military, there are meaningful opportunities ahead. Now is the time to start thinking about your goals and discovering what excites you about your future. 

What is College?

There are many options and education pathways for Indiana students after high school such as apprenticeships, associate degrees, trade programs, bachelor’s degrees or an advanced degree. College isn’t just about earning a four-year degree on campus. Indiana’s institutions provide education opportunities that meet the needs of all people at all stages of their lives including short-term, online and part-time options.

Why should you go to college?

There are many reasons why someone may want to go to college. Aside from the valuable life experiences you’ll have living on your own, managing your finances and setting your own schedule, you’ll also be establishing the groundwork for a successful career that pays dividends down the line.

Staff and students are encouraged to participate in College Go Spirit Week starting next Monday.
