22 HHS Seniors Reveal Post-Secondary Plans In GenTX Ceremony
22 HHS Seniors Plan To Pursue Education After High School
Hart High School Ramona Neudorf and Counselor Susie Garcia headed up a program on May 6 in the Hart Jr.-Sr. High School gymnasium. The program centered around 22 seniors who plan to pursue an education after high school. They have become a part of Generation Texas (GenTX).
These seniors signed commitments to higher education at the first GenTX Decision Day at Hart High School.
