College and Career Readiness

Over the last few years, Wabash High School has made it a goal to ensure that all graduating seniors apply to a post-secondary institution.  It is our belief that the more roadblocks we can remove for kids, the smoother the road to college will be.  At the end of College Go Week, 91% of the 134 seniors projected to graduate have applied to at least one post-secondary institution.  I would like to congratulate all of our kids on their decisions to continue their education beyond high school and I would like to applaud our guidance department, administration and teachers for supporting them along the way.

In past years at Wabash City Schools, this would be the end of the College Go story; however, this year, we have refocused our collective efforts K-12 on college and career readiness, redeveloping our corporation mission: Wabash City Schools provides a relevant and rigorous education to ensure each student is college and career-ready for success in a global community.  Wabash City Schools believes in the ideal that through education any door can and will be opened; we believe through the schoolhouse gates we will redefine and thus revitalize the work force of Wabash County and the greater region of Northeast Indiana.  Therefore K-12 we stand united to ensure our kids walk out prepared for post-secondary education.  Currently, every grade level except two have planned or are planning college visits.  On Monday, every 5th grader took a tour of Ball State University.  We believe these visits will transition our kids from an abstract idea of college to a concrete understanding of reality.

Parents, please talk with your children and your child's school about college. It is never too soon to begin planning future career focus and financial planning.  Wabash City Schools is devoted to promoting post-secondary education for all students.
