11th Graders Tour Ferris Once again, our students were able to do some college exploration, thanks to WMU’s GEAR UP program. On March 21st, a group of juniors took a charter bus to Ferris State University in Big Rapids. After a presentation by the Admissions representative, students toured campus and learned about the great programs Ferris has to offer. Before leaving campus, students enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Rock Café. On a side note, it was great to see 2024 HHS graduates Mauritza Cruz and Erin Glover, who are completing their freshman year at Ferris!
