Once again, the 2008 KASCAC Bus Tour was a success!
Here are a few pictures from the trip.
 
 
 
 
2008 KASCAC Bus Tour for High School
Counselors
Each year, KASCAC sponsors a Bus Tour to
allow high school counselors to visit various institutions (both in-state
and out-of-state) and learn what they have to offer, in order to be able to
give the students they work with more specific knowledge of each school.
The tour is organized and led by Mr. Paul Radke, an
admissions professional with over twenty-five years of experience.
Please feel free to email
him with any questions.
The KASCAC Bus Tour began in 1997, and this year will be the eleventh time the
"bus-o-fun" has hit the road. Click

schools the tour has visited.
