Canfield High School seniors joined thousands of students across the country as they made their decision for the next step after high school on National College Decision Day.
On May 1, Canfield seniors were encouraged to wear a shirt or hat with the college, university, service branch, trade school, union, etc., that they had selected.
“This is the first time we have participated in College Decision Day and we are excited to participate in this national event. This event gives our students a chance to make connections with other students, and they may meet someone who will be attending the same university that they didn’t know. It’s a chance for them to network and it’s a fun day,” said Michael Moldovan, CHS principal.
Moldovan said the school also wanted to honor students for their academic pursuits.
“We wanted to recognize the students for their academic pursuits, in addition to honoring the students who have already received athletic scholarships. We thought combining that recognition with College Decision Day was a great opportunity,” Moldovan said.
Canfield Local Schools Superintendent Alex Geordan said he anticipated students meeting someone they didn’t know was going to the same school.
“I anticipated some students not knowing others were going to the same school, and in the first few moments this morning, I heard it first hand. I heard someone say, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you were going there, too!’ We wanted to make that happen and this event was the opportune time to do just that,” Geordan said.
