October 25th to 29th marks College Application Week at School District of Lancaster. This event is part of the American College Application Campaign and in partnership with Pennsylvania Department of Education. This year, SDoL set a goal that 80% of seniors complete a college application. Even if students aren’t sure they want to attend college, it’s a critical step in making sure students have options for after graduation.
All seniors will have the opportunity to complete a college application during class during the week of October 25th. McCaskey High School students will complete applications during Communication Arts classes, assisted by members of the Future Ready Center. Students at Phoenix Academy will participate on October 26th & 28th, while Cyber Pathways and DASH students will participate on October 28th.
Students and parents can find instructions on applying to college on the School District of Lancaster website. This webpage includes step by step instructions to complete applications for a variety of local colleges. Not sure where to start? Check out the “Applying to College” video presentation below.
