COMMUNITY NEWS

Grad Panel Update from recent Craig School Graduates

Last week, we hosted our annual Craig High School Virtual Grad Panel. For those who were able to join us, we hope you were inspired by our guest grad speakers and the insights they shared into navigating the college experience from the perspective of a student with learning disabilities.

They shared information on college and also discussed the strategies that they learned at Craig!

Here are a few of the key insights shared by our grads that resonated with our current CHS students who also joined the viewing-

Matt Maisel, CHS Class of 2023, University of Arizona and Pursuing a BS in Urban and Regional Development with a minor in Sustainable Built Environment and Entrepreneurship “The quickest way to meet others that share your interests is to join college clubs and organizations. In my case, I joined a fraternity, a real estate club, and the sports management club”

Luke Danza, CHS Class of 2023, Beacon College in Leesburg, Florida, and Leaning toward a degree in Business Management with a focus on Hospitality “Keep using something like your CHS Assignment book. Helps to keep you organized and on top of those far-off assignments. They are due before you know it and I would advise not waiting until the day before or expecting an extension”

Grace Callahan, CHS Class of 2024, Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey, and Pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Education with the ultimate goal of pursuing a career as an Orton-Gillingham Reading Specialist. “Get to know your professors and let them get to know you so that you are more than just a name on an attendance list in a large classroom”.

Nate Crisci, CHS Class of 2024, Iona University in New Rochelle, New York, and Pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Media with a major in Communications “Avoid morning classes at all costs especially if you are not a morning person. Don’t learn that the hard way”

Kevin Soutar, CHS Class of 2021, New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, New Jersey, Graduated from County College of Morris in Randolph, New Jersey (www.ccm.edu) with an associate degree in Information Technology with a Cyber Security Focus “Community College is a great option to build credits and keep college costs low before transferring to another school to pursue your BA or BS”

For those that were unable to attend, you are in luck! Here is the recording and password to view our CHS Grad Panel 2025 ZOOM (Passcode If Needed: SHz%5*9V).
