The Greater Green Bay Healthcare Alliance
is offering a series of group healthcare
career exploration opportunities. The
healthcare sessions are designed for high
school students and young adults, ages 14 to
21 years, and will provide an in-depth look
at a variety of healthcare careers. Attendees
will learn about working conditions,
education requirements, employability
skills, and other relevant information.

SENIOR INFORMATION
APPLYING TO COLLEGE
Technical school and college-bound seniors
should apply to the schools of their choice
HOURS: 7:15-3:15
(Applying to College Continued)
early in the fall; hopefully during the months
of October and November. Applications
should be submitted on-line. Once the
application has been submitted, students will
need to go to the Student Services Office to
complete a “Transcript Request Form” so
Student Services can send an “Official
Transcript”. An official transcript means that
a sealed and signed transcript is sent directly
from the Student Services Office to the
selected college. Letters of recommendation
and a student profile can be attached to the
transcript if required. Last year, Preble’s
Student Services Office processed nearly
2700 transcripts and applications, so
please allow ten school days to prepare
these materials.
COLLEGE GOAL WISCONSIN
Families who need help completing the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) can attend a free program on
Wednesday, February 24, at 6pm, at the
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College
(2740 W Mason Street). For more
information visit:

SCHOLARSHIPS
It is never too early to apply for
scholarships. Many scholarships are
available in the Career Center. Scholarship
opportunities are also listed in the Students
Services website and by going to the Green
Bay Public School’s website:

tab down to “Scholarship Guide 20152016”.

school transcript is needed.
JUNIOR/PARENT/COUNSELOR
MEETINGS
Parents and guardians of juniors will meet
with their school counselors to review
transcripts and discuss post high school
plans. These are called an Individual
Planning Conference or IPC. These
conferences will assist parents and their
students to prepare for their future whether
they are going into the work world, military,
technical, or four-year colleges. This will be
a great opportunity for parents and juniors to
start planning their senior year and beyond.
Questions will be answered and resource
materials will be available. If you have not
done so, please call 391-2402 to schedule
your Individual Planning Conference.
