SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - College application season has begun and San Juan Unified District will host a variety of opportunities from Sept. 18 to Sept. 26 to help students explore educational options and prepare for post-secondary success.

College Week kicked off its college-readiness celebrations on Sept. 18, after press time, with the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Recruitment Fair at El Camino Fundamental High School. Eleventh- and 12th-graders and their parents had the option of riding a bus from their home school to the recruitment fair.
