College Fair at Westchester High School

Summary

"You're not just a number at a Black college," [John Terry] said. "The teachers know you, and they nurture you. Your professor will know you and they will be interested in you."

"The event today helped prepare our students for college," said Sadia Sanders, who is a graduate of Westchester High School. "The event let them know what the expectation is for their grades coming out as seniors. They were able to go around to the colleges so that they can have information that can be shared with their parents."

"I think this event is important because it gives my daughter exposure to what is out there and what her options are so that she can start planning early," said Liza Smith, whose daughter attends Westchester. She can make good choices based on the information that she's been exposed too."

The HBCU experience for Black students is different from the experiences that they will get from most other colleges, and Westchester high school students were recently informed about these schools at a college fair hosted by the Westchester High School Alumni Association (WHSAA).
