GetResponse
GetResponse is an online instruction platform that we will be using to engage students and promote virtual learning. 

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from October 17th-December 9th, students will receive newsletters with different information related to building academic skills, college enrollment, and college success. 

Each newsletter will have an engaging survey at the end. Every time a student actively participates in the survey their named will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a special prize during our Winter Academic Conference. Student Participation in the surveys will also increase the chance that the student will be considered for FCEA organized trips.
Choosing the Right Path to College 
While choosing to go to college can be exciting, deciding which college to attend and how to pay for it can be quite stressful. Nowadays, many college graduates are struggling to pay back student loan debt. With that being said, it is important to consider college options that will be most affordable and what financial assistance is available that will allow you to graduate without being swamped with student loan debt.
