Seniors, what's Seminole State Decision Day? It's your chance to visit Seminole State College's Sanford/Lake Mary Campus, tour the campus, explore programs and career pathways, learn about financial aid, and discover how SSC's DirectConnect to UCF program can help you reach your college goals.
Whether you're planning for college, exploring career programs, or just weighing your options after graduation, this is a great opportunity to see what's possible.
Interested in attending? Complete the attached permission slip and return it to Mr. Simmons (1-003) by October 27th.
