Communicating the Value of Postsecondary Options to High School Students

On April 1, 2025, representatives from the Michigan College Access Network and the Michigan Department of Education shared their new College in High School Communications Toolkit, which was developed using insights from students, families, and educators. The toolkit equips districts, school leaders, and counselors to share the benefits of college in high school opportunities and support students in navigating the many options available to them. Attendees learned how to implement similar messaging and communication tools to reach out to students and their families in their communities.

Presenters:

  • Stacey Stover, EdD., Early Middle College Manager, Michigan Department of Education Office of Career and Technical Education
  • Jeneen Hatoum, Director of High School Innovation, Michigan College Access Network
