While there is considerable excitement related to the many students who have graduated from Pitman High School and will have attending four year institutions of higher learning, the bulk of the student body will be attending junior colleges.
This does not imply that their goals are less or their academic effort less. There are many reasons why students decide to attend a junior college 1. Economics, 2. Not ready to leave town just yet, 3. And yes, not academically ready for the four-year experience.
Studies have shown that students who attend junior college and then transfer have a higher four year college graduation rate that those who went straight to a four-year program. There is a quote floating around that states, “It’s not how fast you get there, but how far you go.”
Recently, a past editor of the Roaring Times – Cynthia Yonan stopped by and shared her happy news. After two years at MJC she was accepted at both UC Berkeley and UC Davis – and has chosen UC Davis.
PHS congratulates all of our graduates who will be attending junior colleges and expect great thing from them.
