Falls City hosted a college fair that included 40 booths for college and military recruiters to meet with students regarding their future plans. HTRS, JCC, and Sacred Heart were invited and attended the event. Following the college fair, Falls City seniors participated in the Apply2College event. Students filled out college applications with the assistance of Haylee Erickson, Sarah Barker, and college representatives (Peru State, Northwest Missouri State, and UNO),

Students that attended Peru State educators days were able to participate in multiple breakout sessions with college professors to learn about various teaching pathways that they could pursue. Students got to tour the campus and hear from the admissions office.
