🎓SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Alden-Hebron's "I Decided" campaign features & celebrates the post-secondary plans of the Class of 2025.
AHHS senior, Zachary Lillie: Ever since I first met my recruiter in my junior year, joining the Marine Corps became a calling. The day I turned 17, I signed the papers to join. A few days later, I went to MEPS where I passed all medical examinations and was officially sworn in. I signed up to be in 4 years of active duty where for 1 year I will be a military police officer and 3 years as a dog handler/trainer. Joining the corps will set me up for life with skills, give me a whole different view of life, and provide me with benefits. I can't wait to serve and give back to my country.
AHHS: Grand Canyon University visited for our "College and Career Readiness" lunch and learn series. The Grand Canyon University rep answered student questions, shared materials/resources, shared information about different programs, and provided information about scholarships offered.
If you are interested in hosting a lunch and learn please contact our academic advisor, Davina VanderPal.
