11th Grade College Information Night November 28th, 7:00 pm in the Cafetorium
At Guerin Catholic High School, we are committed to helping your family in the process of the successful matriculation of your child to a college or university of his or her choice.
As part of the college preparation approach, we are inviting all parents, guardians, and juniors to come to the upcoming 11TH GRADE COLLEGE INFORMATION NIGHT on Monday, November 28th at 7:00 p.m. This meeting will take approximately one hour and will be held in the Guerin Catholic Cafetorium.
The information presented at this meeting is critical to help guide our juniors through the college search, selection, and application process.
