PTA PRESIDENT MESSAGE

Wildcat Nation,

Please make sure to mark your calendar for our next general meeting on Wednesday, November 3 when we will have College Advisor Catherine Marrs on as a speaker. Catherine is an expert at helping plan the steps your child will need to take to successfully get into college. Take it from a parent with a senior, it is never too early to start planning the process for college, the sooner the better.
