JUNIORS
Juniors, it is not too early to start researching colleges. Think about going on some college visits over spring break and on weekends. Keep in mind that most colleges and universities have information sessions, open houses, and campus tours year-round. Check the college websites for dates and times to visit. The National College Fair where representatives from hundreds of colleges and universities nationwide will be present will be held at the Montgomery County in April 2018. Magruder juniors are invited to attend. Families can attend the evening before.
