It means nothing to the student who chooses not to go to college after graduation.

However for the students who do pursue this goal it means alot to receieve the college prep and advancment tests.

This list demonstrates Mecklenburg and other schools in the area that made the list are making efforts to provide what is needed to get the students to college.

I wonder how come Union County is never mentioned in any of these articles for good schools...in these big papers so to speak...that is too bad, considering it is the fast growing county...
