Preparing for college isn’t just for seniors. All high school students should be focusing on doing well in school - your cumulative GPA (from grades 9 - 12) are used on college applications and scholarships. Build good habits to stay on track academically. Get involved in extracurricular or community activities and find a supportive system of people that want you to succeed. Explore career options and what it costs to get there (https://collegecost.ed.gov/net-price). Start saving for college (https://www.collegechoicedirect.com/), and be on the lookout for financial aid opportunities - FAFSA deadline moved to December. #whyapply #CollegeGo #FAFSA

Perry Central 6-8th grade AVID students went on a field trip today to EverBodys Fitness in Tell City do some teambuilding with Tony Miller. Students had a wonderful time getting to see what it’s like to own a gym and what it is all used for. Also, they traveled to the Perry County Council On Aging Building and helped them organize chairs, stuff envelopes, and dance with the retired folk that came for the Fiesta. Students interacted with the adults and one student even showed them his break dancing.
