It isn’t yet the end of the school year for Pitman, but it is the end for Pitman’s class of 2010. For most of the class, college is now a top priority and the central focus of their summer. Although much of the class of 2010’s excitement is geared for a four-year university, the bulk of the student body will be attending junior colleges. This does not imply that going to junior college is any worse or better than attending a four-year university right out of high school.
There are many reasons as to why students decide to attend a junior college. With the economy not at its best, and job opportunities more scarce than they used to be, it is easer for some students to go to a junior college and get their credits. Sometimes, it might just boil down to not being academically ready for a four-year college and junior college can help tremendously. Also, studies have shown that students who attend a junior college and then transfer have a higher four-year graduation rate than those who went straight to a four-year program.
PHS congratulates all of our graduates who will be attending junior colleges next semester.
