Le Mars Community High School To Host Annual College Fair

(Le Mars) — Le Mars Community High School will host its annual College Fair to be held this evening inside the gym.  Judd Kopperud serves as the Guidance Counselor for Le Mars High School and helps organize the event.

Kopperud says many of the region’s colleges will be in attendance including, Briar Cliff, Morningside, Buena Vista, Northwestern, Dordt, Augustana, Sioux Falls, and Wayne State.  Also being represented will be the major state universities that include University of Iowa, Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa, University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University, and University of Nebraska.  Kopperud says many two-year vocational schools will also be represented at this evening’s college fair.

Kopperud says the college fair is open to any area junior or senior student, along with parents or guardians from area high schools.

Kopperud says a few years ago, officials revamped the system so all students need to do is to scan a bar code to receive information from the respective college of university, instead of hand writing the pertinent information.

The Le Mars Community High School Guidance Counselor says additional information can be passed along to colleges and universities through the bar-code system.

The event will be held in the Carey gym. People are asked to enter from the east doors, and the college fair will start at 6:00 p.m. and will continue until 7:30 p.m.
