College admissions professionals offer free tips to parents | Schools

Cannon School is helping parents prepare their children for college this week.

Parents of Charlotte-area high school students in grades 9-11 are invited to learn how they can help their child find the college that best fits their child's goals.

Participants can benefit from a panel discussion with Jennifer Hantho from Carleton College and Janice Finney from Florida State University who are presenting an overview of admission trends.

The discussion also addresses the evaluation process for college applicants.

Interested parents should meet in Taylor Hall at Cannon School, located at 5801 Poplar Tent Road in Concord, Wednesday February 13, from 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.

Admission is free and open to the public.
