Although students were recognized specially during the Senior Appreciation Lunch, all San Miguel students are taking steps in the college-bound process. COVID interrupted some previously planned trips to the U of A, all San Miguel students have now visited the campus. Campus tours are a significant step for students as they visualize themselves in spaces that might have felt inaccessible before the visit.
All students will continue to work with the College Counseling department to develop college application checklists, research and apply for scholarships, and eventually, complete FAFSA forms and college applications.
Special thanks to:
