Heritage hosts annual college fair

in News by

Heritage hosted their annual college fair March 6, providing an opportunity for students and parents to explore options for their education beyond high school. 

The event, held in the gym, featured over 100 schools for students to ask questions and start deciding where they would like to go for college. 

Throughout the day, students had the chance to meet face-to-face with admissions representatives, learning about the college application process and gaining insight into each school. Students were able to ask questions ranging from financial aid to campus life. 

Parents were invited to attend as well in order to keep the whole family informed in the college application process.

“It was a good opportunity to meet college representatives and learn about colleges I might apply to next year. I talked to the Purdue representative because I’m interested in engineering and it provided me valuable information,” junior Ethan Lyons said.

Students learn about all that the University of Central Florida (UCF) has to offer directly from an admissions officer. Based in Orlando, UCF is only a three-hour drive from Heritage, making its close proximity a contender for many Heritage students. Eight students in the class of 2025 have already committed to attend next year. (Photo/CADY)

Zoe Horwitz, a senior at American Heritage, returns to the Patriot Post for her fourth (and sadly final) year as Editor in Chief. Besides reading and writing, she spends her time playing with her dog or tutoring younger students through Learn with Peers, a non-profit organization she helped found in 2020. During her freshman year, she co-founded FALIA (Food Allergy/Intolerance Awareness) at school, a club that advocates for those with food allergies. Zoe also plays lacrosse, as she plays for a club team and American Heritage girls varsity lacrosse team. Zoe is very excited to be contributing to the Patriot Post.
