Pathfinder Day for Juniors and Seniors

This week, all NHHS juniors and seniors participated in a Pathfinder Day sponsored by NICC and Iowa BIG North. Students prepared for this day by completing a survey about their future plans and interests.  The goal of the was not only to bring in post-secondary colleges and universities, but also have industry options such as internships, apprenticeships, certification and straight to work representative available.  In addition, each junior met with NICC about college and certificate programs available in high school and each senior met with a representative regarding financial aid and the FAFSA process.

One of the options available was military service and many students discussed the availability of earning and education through enlistment. 

 Several NICC representatives were in attendance to talk about the variety of options both in high school and beyond with credit and certificates.

Many students were seen filling out applications and interest cards to receive more information from the institutions in attendance.

To end the morning, each representative was part of a panel discussion about what to expect after high school, how to prepare and the decision -making process of choosing a pathway.
