Counselors plan college visits

College is quickly approaching for many students at LHS. With so many schools to choose from, multiple events associated with college information will take place this semester.
For Feb. 29, the LHS counselors have scheduled a trip to Washington State University in Pullman and the University of Idaho in Moscow. This will allow students to gather information about these universities and decide whether or not to add them to their list of college choices. Students will be able to experience campus life, and to compare it to others around the northwest, according to Mrs. Cahill.
Higher Education Day March 25 presents another opportunity for aspiring students to learn about different colleges around the area. Seven or eight school representatives present information at LHS, followed by a period for student questions.
For sophomores, a trip to Lewis-Clark State College has been planned for April 12. Students will tour the campus during the school day to experience what life is like for the average college student. This event will also help with making the decision on which college to attend. According to Cahill.
Students can sign up for these trips in the counseling center, Cahill said.
