Seniors in MCHS's AVID12 class celebrated last week after receiving their acceptance offers from between four to 11 different Illinois public colleges through the One Click College Admit program they opted into as juniors.
The program fast tracks college acceptance based on solid high school GPA's between 2.0-4.0. We had 100% of AVID seniors who opted into the program receive offers.
They are excited to begin next steps into their postsecondary futures!
