Gap Year Fair
A gap year is a relatively new trend in which a student takes a year "off" between high school and college. This year does serve as a break, but is best spent doing something productive and meaningful. Competitive colleges will want to know what the student did during the gap year. If this is something that you are considering, there are "Gap Year Fairs" that introduce students to experiences that will look good on a resume or college application. Time off should be time well spent! The link below is for such an opportunity. The counseling office does not necessarily endorse such programs, we simply make them known to students. For more information, visit the link below.
