This graduating class of seniors at Delaware County Christian School is the first I have worked with since I started the College Counselor Corner blog back in January. I want to start a tradition of recognizing and congratulating each class that I work with because first, they should be recognized for all of their hard work but second, to let those of you who read my blog know who I work with and the seniors that teach me so much throughout each year.
The DC Class of 2017 is an outstanding class filled with future artists, entrepreneurs, teachers, computer programmers, doctors, ministry leaders, fashion designers, engineers and much more. There are 72 students in the class and they are attending 48 different colleges. Below are two pictures of a map of the United States and Pennsylvania that I update every April on the wall outside my office with the current class of seniors. I put their senior picture and school name over the location on the map where they will be attending.
On the 2nd to last day of school for the seniors, they are able to wear a shirt of the college they will be attending. Below is this year’s picture. Listed below the picture are the names of each senior in the picture and then those that are not in the picture. You may need to save the picture on your device and make it larger to view it more clearly.
