The Fountain Lake College and Career Center would like to announce a tour of colleges on Thursday, November 2nd. We will provide transportation and lunch for all juniors to tour different types of schools: A large public university (University of Central Arkansas), a highly selective private college (Hendrix), and a smaller private christian college (Central Baptist College).
This is not an attempt to recruit to these colleges, but to educate students about the different types of colleges they can choose from and encourage JRs to plan college visits.
Students will need to provide their own transportation from school to their respective homes that afternoon. We will leave at 8:00 am and be back about 4:15 pm. Lunch will be provided. Students should have someone pick them up at school when the buses return to campus between 4pm & 4:30.
