✨ Camp College Jackson is officially in the books!

Last week, rising seniors took a major step toward their futures by getting into the college planning process. From exploring Mississippi colleges and scholarship opportunities to learning about financial aid, writing, and networking, students gained tools they can use throughout senior year and beyond.
