High School Students to Engage in Experiential Learning Day
On Tuesday, February 27, while juniors are taking the ACT, freshman, sophomore, and senior students at Middletown High School will embark on a day of experiential learning opportunities. The immersive day of hands-on experiences will expand students' learning beyond the school walls and provide career and college opportunities. The day will look different based on a student's interests and grade level.
Freshmen:
More than 350 freshman students will travel to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. They will be applying what they've learned from their World Studies class while visiting the museum.
Sophomores:
More than 350 sophomore students will embark on college visits across the area. These visits will include Miami University Regionals Middletown and Hamilton campuses, Sinclair Community College, Cincinnati State, and Northern Kentucky University.
The visits will allow students a universal experience of what to expect when touring a college. Including what questions to ask, what to look for, and how to prepare.
Juniors:
Juniors will be taking the ACT.
Seniors:
