Goldthwaite High School students recently stepped outside the classroom and onto college campuses as the entire student body participated in college tours designed to help them explore some options for life after high school.

Students were divided by grade level, with each class visiting a college or technical school that offered an opportunity to learn more about higher education, career pathways, and the possibilities available after graduation.

Freshmen traveled to Angelo State University.

Sophomores visited the University of Mary Hardin Baylor. 

Juniors headed to Tarleton State University.

Seniors had the opportunity to choose from three different destinations based on their interests and future goals. Their options included Universal Technical Institute (UTI) in Austin

Howard Payne University

and Weatherford College. 

The college tours provided students with a chance to experience campuses firsthand, learn about different programs, and begin thinking about the steps they can take to reach their future goals.

By giving students at every grade level the opportunity to explore higher education and career training, Goldthwaite High School continues to emphasize the importance of planning for life after graduation. Whether students choose a university, community college, technical school, or another path, the goal is to help every student see the opportunities available and begin preparing for their future.

Karen Greenway, organizer of this event, says, “I’m so thankful for teachers who are willing to go on trips with our students, bus drivers who are willing to drive, and our administration who allow us to go”.
