Operation College Launch
During their high school career, students may begin to weigh the options available to them after graduation, including a college education. A college education can serve as a gateway to better options and more opportunity, but while the importance of a college education is quite evident for many high school students, what is often not as clear is what choices are available, or how they will pay for that education.
The need for clear, reliable information about this important decision is great. That’s why the Library is launching a series of programs called “Operation College Launch,” designed to provide the information teens need to realize their dreams through higher education. We invite you to attend and learn more about college and how to make it possible.
