Welcome Back, Students and Families!

Dear Central Cambria Community,

 

Welcome to another exciting school year! As your College and Career Adviser, I am thrilled to partner with you on this journey toward success. Whether you're a returning student, a new face in our hallways, or a supportive family member, I’m here to ensure you have the resources and guidance needed to achieve your academic and career aspirations.

 

This year is filled with endless possibilities. From exploring career pathways and applying to colleges, to discovering scholarships and preparing for life beyond high school, there are countless opportunities to make your dreams a reality. My goal is to provide personalized support to help you navigate these pivotal years with confidence and clarity.

 

I encourage you to stop by my office, attend workshops, and participate in events designed to prepare you for what lies ahead. Keep an eye on our website and school announcements for updates about college fairs, application deadlines, financial aid resources, and more.

 

Parents and guardians, I invite you to join us as active partners in your student’s journey. Together, we can create a supportive network to help them excel.

 

Let’s make this year one of growth, achievement, and unforgettable memories. I’m excited to meet with you, hear your goals, and help you take the next steps toward your future.

 

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Warm regards,
Mr. Micah McConnell
