District 211 to host annual College Night on Oct. 23

Township High School District 211 will hold its annual College Night from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23, at Palatine High School, 1111 N. Rohlwing Road. The event is open to all District 211 students and parents.

This year's event will see representatives from more than 210 colleges and universities ranging from community colleges to four-year universities meet with students. Representatives will provide attendees with information on post high school educational options, as well as provide tips for financial aid.

To be prepared for their meetings and to best utilize their time, students are encouraged to register for College Night at https://app.strivescan.com/students.

Registering will provide students with a bar code that college representatives can scan. This will provide them with the student's information, allowing them to better discuss a personalized approach to their particular college or university.

In an effort to prevent traffic congestion, shuttle services will be offered from other district schools. Those wishing to use the shuttle service should sign up at https://adc.d211.org/BusSignUp.

Students with questions should speak with their college and career counselors.
