In addition, 50 percent of our junior class maintain a 3.0 GPA or above. We would like to invite you to host an information table at our second annual Wildcat Pride: Investing in My Future Expo.

The purpose of the event is to expose our students to college life and connect them with a variety of career opportunities. Our students have expressed their desire to explore personal interest with less classroom disruption. We hope you will assist in making this a successful event for our students.
