The first College Fair of the school year took place during second period on Sept. 13, a treat for this year\u2019s Class of 2018 seniors.<\/p>\n

Alisa Verdugo, a senior, said, \u201cWe want to break the negative stigmas of how to apply to college, so if you [students] need any help applying, please come see us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Practically all of this year\u2019s 300+ seniors had an opportunity to speak with various college representatives and military branches\u2014a golden chance for them to explore their options for their future.<\/p>\n

Many colleges were available to Pueblo seniors, including Arizona Christian University, Central Arizona College, New Mexico State College, Pima Community College, Universal Technical Institute and Prescott College along with the several military branches present.<\/p>\n

Mr. Alejandro Menchaca, Pueblo\u2019s new College and Career coordinator, said, \u201cThere are opportunities that students don\u2019t know exist\u2014until they come to events like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSeniors need to know all their options to find what their life purpose is in order to find their passion,\u201d said senior counselor Ms. Teresa Toro. \u201cThis is the perfect time when seniors truly need to start applying for colleges and for scholarships. This Career Fair hopefully has given our seniors a wake-up call.\u201d<\/p>\n
