FREE COLLEGE! Okay. So now that we have your attention, we want to make sure you plan to attend the BJSHS Early College Information Night, which is set for next Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. in the BJSHS Media Center. Our presenters will lay out all the ins and outs of our Early College program, including: What's Early College? What's required from students and families? Can students actually graduate from high school with a two-year college degree or skilled trades certification? (Spoiler alert: Yes.) Is it really free for participating students? (Spoiler alert: Yes.) Beaverton Early College represents an excellent and affordable way for your student to get a jump on college, a career, or both at no cost to families. Please plan to join us for an informative introduction to Early College that may just provide exactly what your son or daughter needs to launch a satisfying, successful career. If you have any questions, please contact Misty Johnson at mjohnson@beavertonschools.net or 989.246.3010, ext. 1338. See you then!
