This year marks the 13th year CMS has hosted College Week. This is a week centered around creating a college-going culture where students increase their awareness of options after high school. During this week, teachers inform their students of where they went to college and their college sponsored activities in which they were involved.
Each day during lunch, the students are challenged to answer trivia questions about their teachers’ college experiences.
The last day of this week, the counselors plan a half day centered around college.
This year, the students rotated through the following: Being College Ready Trivia, an EducationQuest Financial Aid Escape Room, UNL Virtual Tours, Find the Right College for You survey, CMS Teacher Trivia, and a Career Interest Inventory survey.
The CMS counselors reached out to all colleges in Nebraska and received college swag to be used as prizes for our students. Many students walked away with t-shirts, bags, pens, pencils, and many other great prizes. This week was a success and our students increased their knowledge of options after high school.
