Addison Trail Counseling Department hosts annual College Fair for students

The Addison Trail Counseling Department hosted its annual College Fair on Sept. 16 in the school’s commons area, giving students an opportunity to explore a variety of colleges and universities and learn more about their options after high school.

Throughout the lunch periods, students had an opportunity to connect with college representatives, ask questions and gather information about different institutions, including available majors, campus life and opportunities for their future. More than 50 colleges and universities participated in this year’s fair.
