Focus on Education
October 2018
College GO Week
Imagine your future...the possibilities are endless! No matter what your life plans or goals are, education is the one thing that can give you the power to accomplish whatever you set out to do. That is why the School City of Hobart celebrates College GO Week at each of our schools! Our goal through this week and throughout the school year, is to help students learn about the possibilities that are out there for them to further their education and get steps closer to achieving their goals. The 4th grade students in all of our Elementary schools went on a tour of the high school learning about the different programs and dual-credit classes that are offered. These courses are part of Hobart University which is a partnership through Ivy Tech that is completely FREE to our students. By taking these courses, students can earn college credit and even graduate with a technical certificate or Associates degree! In the Middle School, students were able to participate in several opportunities to learn about different colleges, what they each offer, and what one would work best for their future goals. Finally, at the High School, students were able to meet with different local universities during lunch and even apply to colleges! Representatives were there to assist in the application process and for most, the fees were waived! Bonus!
Just because the week is over doesn't mean that information is unavailable. Learn More Indiana is a complete resource standing behind you, dedicated to helping you accomplish your education the way you want and following your dreams as closely as possible.
