He was finally released today.

A crazy stat — over 1,100 student scan-ins to the CCC this fall (and we didn’t get our scanner until mid-Sept.) Busy is good!

@MWCounselors I suppose I can only speak for myself, but most counselors probably won’t be answering your emails on Friday night #SocialLife Just sayin... 😂

I went back to OSU to finish school. Something I worked as hard on as my football career. I’m my own man and think for myself. Going back benefited me & my family LONG term. Educate yourself on the situation before commenting and spreading the wrong message.

Huge changes happening with the ACT for the 2020-21 school year. Wow

Just in: we’re giving students more choices. Starting  next school year, students will be able to:

➡️ Retake individual ACT section tests
➡️ Choose between online testing with faster results or paper testing 
➡️ Get an ACT Superscore

As soon as I posted the college visits and FAFSA program dates on the board, groups of students walked up with their phones, snapped photos of the info, and began signing up to attend. I LOVE IT 🥳 #MortonPride

A personal thank you to @JoshMcmaho @ChrisSimek99 @Morton201 for the new Promethean board in the College & Career Center. This is a game changer for our counseling program and our students. I hardly have the words to describe how happy I am #MortonPride
