This week the CHS Counseling Office hosted a fun event called Apply to College Week!  During the entire week we hosted college reps, completed fun college trivia, gave away a massive amount of college prizes, wear cool college gear, and played college themed games.  We will had two capstone events on October 30th for juniors and seniors where we visited Chadron State College!  Completing a college application can be daunting – especially if a student doesn’t have help with the forms. That’s why EducationQuest sponsors Apply2College, an annual statewide campaign in which high schools conduct events during the school day to help seniors apply to college. This is part of a national campaign to change the lives of students. Thanks to all students and staff who participated this week!
