Permission Slip This day is designed to provide information to senior level students regarding four-year colleges and universities and trade schools. In 2021, 55 different colleges attended from 8 different states, so College Day is the perfect place for students to gather first-hand information concerning application deadlines, costs, housing, academic programs, and financial aid.
Jostens was here Wednesday picking up orders from seniors and sophomores. Seniors will need to at least order a cap & gown to go through the graduation ceremony. You can still order through this link. The sooner you order, the better, as the price does typically go up the closer it gets to graduation due to shipping costs added. Jostens for BHRA
