OHS To Host College Night on March 28

By Jeris Eilts, OHS Torch Reporter

The OHS Counseling Office is hosting a college night on March 28 from 6:00-7:30 pm in the high school auditorium.  There are going to be four different colleges at the event.

Mrs. Steve said, “This is going to give the students a chance to look at what the difference is between a big university and a small one, and a small community college compared to a four-year university.”

The colleges that will be here are Eureka College, Illinois State University, Illinois Wesleyan University, and Heartland Community College. This will offer students a variety of college options.  Parents welcome to attend!

Seniors, if you have not talked to your college about deadlines, you need to do that! Most deadlines are May 1.  “If you haven’t thought about college or don’t know where you’re going to go, then you should make an appointment with one of us and get that figured out,” said Mrs. Steve, OHS guidance counselor.

Seniors, make sure you look at the board outside of the counseling office for scholarship opportunities.  Anyone who has questions on this can contact Mrs. Steve or Mr. Castillo in the counseling office.
