“College Planning Night at NBHS is a significant resource for families planning ahead for college admissions, financial aid and other aspects of the application process, “said Headmaster Bernadette Coelho.
Director of Educational Talent Search Elizabeth Connelly-Sylvia said, “This evening event is an excellent opportunity for students and their families to learn more about the college planning, admissions, and financial aid process. Additionally, families who attend will be offered free ongoing assistance throughout the full college application process.”
