From 6:30 to 7:15 pm there will be a presentation on graduation requirements and postsecondary options. The presentation will be conducted in English and Spanish.

This event is open to all Hart District high school students, however, is designed for Hispanic students interested in learning more about various college and career opportunities. This event is being coordinated by Golden Valley teachers, Geni Peterson Henry, Natalie Dickey, and Kimberly Jimenez.
