Hello Graduating Glacier Students,

We will be hosting a representative for our local community college at our Oakhurst campus this Monday, December 1st at 2:15pm in Room C. All students graduating this year are encouraged to come to this meeting. You will find out information on the process of registering for Community College next year. There are some key approaching deadlines in December and January that you will not want to miss. Be aware that this process is different then what many of you have done as a High School student attending college classes. In addition we will share information regarding financial aid which will be helpful to all students, even those not planning on attending community college.

We hope to see you Monday and have a great Thanksgiving
