Attention Seniors :
On Wednesday, October 13th, all seniors will have the opportunity to experience Whiting High School’s College and Career Opportunities Day. Seniors will be allowed to spend the day experiencing college and career activities by attending the ACC, visiting a college, job shadowing, or completing college and/or career research. All activities will be completed off campus; however, please make sure that you spend at least 4 – 6 hours participating in the event.
Seniors who attend the ACC will attend their CTE course as normal and this will count as their participation in the day. If a student decides not to participate in the College and Career Opportunities Day activities, they must attend school or they will be considered truant for the day as stated in the Whiting High School Handbook.
We believe that this opportunity supports the Mission of Whiting High School which is to foster an environment whereby students, faculty, parents, and the community interact to provide educational opportunities, empowering students to become productive citizens and lifelong learners.
Seniors received a copy of a form that must be signed and returned to the Counseling Office by Friday, October 8th.
