Northrop PTSA Hosts College & Career Night
The Northrop High School PTSA is hosting a College & Career Night for all area middle and high school students from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14, at Northrop. This is the second time the PTSA has hosted such an event. Last spring, the PTSA won a grant for National PTA’s Take Your Family To School Week and put on a successful event. The event moved to the fall to appeal to more families this year and to allow more time for planning.
