PORT ANGELES — More than 30 college representatives will provide information during the Port Angeles High School College Fair on Tuesday.
The fair will be from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the main gymnasium at the school at 304 E. Park Ave.
“It should provide a wonderful opportunity for our students to speak with college representatives one-on-one,” said Mike Nolan, guidance counselor.
“In addition to getting questions answered, students should come away with a sense of whether or not a particular college is a good fit for them.
“That’s what we’re after. They are all good schools. Which one is the right fit?”
Parents are welcome at the fair. All three high school counselors will be on hand to meet individually with parents.
“We are also planning to have a representative there to talk about college ROTC programs, as well as someone to go over financial aid and scholarship notebooks,” Nolan said.
