College Shirt Donations
As our seniors make their final college decisions, you may have some college gear you purchased on college visits that your student won’t be bringing to college. If so, we would love to pass these shirts and sweatshirts along to the rising senior class to wear next year! Students can bring any unwanted college gear to the College Counseling Office, and we will share it with the Class of 2027 this fall.
