New Rochelle High School’s PTSA hosted the College Board’s Senior Vice President, Steve Bumbaugh, who provided advice on the transition from high school to college during presentations last week.
Each year, the College Board supports 8 million students through programs and services such as the SAT, the Advanced Placement Program, and BigFuture, the College Board’s free planning tool.
During the school day, Bumbaugh led information sessions with 10th- and 11th-graders. Last Wednesday evening's PTSA meeting, attended by Superintendent Jonathan Raymond during his ongoing Listening and Learning Tour, included Bumbaugh explaining his four pillars to college planning: taking Advanced Placement classes; completing the Financial Aid form during senior year; creating a list of prospective colleges as early as 10th grade; and the importance of taking either the PSAT, SAT, or the ACT.
Thank you to the New Rochelle High School PTSA, led by President Sing Lathan, for organizing and hosting the programs; Assistant Principal Rachel Cornelius for coordinating the information sessions with the students; the technology and the high school set-up team including Rob Johnson, Joe Trotta, and Armando Abundiz; and Stage Manager Abigail Epprecht.
