🏀 Start time for games is pushed back!

🚀💜💛 Scranton Seniors had a great day at Tech It Out at ATU–Ozark! Our Rockets explored future career paths, visited with professors, checked out booths for a variety of majors, and even competed for scholarships. They also learned about financial aid opportunities to help make college dreams a reality.

A special shoutout to Laikyn, who won a $100 book scholarship in an intense round of rock, paper, scissors! ✂️📚💥
Thomas gave it his all in a pie-eating contest 🥧, and Nate made it to the finals of a coin-flipping tournament 🪙—all for the chance to win scholarships!

Way to represent, Rockets! 💜💛

Scranton Seniors had a great visit to the University of the Ozarks yesterday! 🎓 Students toured campus with current Ozarks students, enjoyed lunch in the cafeteria, explored academic programs through the LENS curriculum, and met with Admissions and Financial Aid to learn about free applications and local scholarship opportunities. 🦅🚀💜
