Springer Grads Share Their Experience

Organized by Placement Director Terri Moorhead (at right in photo), "What After Springer?" offers an opportunity for students and their parents to ask questions of those who have been down this road before them. All high school sophomores, this year's student panel included Greg Brugger (attending Loveland High School), Jacob Henderson (Holy Cross), Kaysia Wilson (Purcell Marian) and Ryan Pflaum (LaSalle). |
