🦅💙 "SEE YOURSELF AT SOUTHERN!" TIGERS EXPLORE GSU! 🐅🖤💛

Some of our 11th and 12th-grade Tigers took an exciting step toward their futures today as Mr. Rowe, Mrs. Swindell, and Mrs. Rountree led an amazing group of students to Georgia Southern University for "See Yourself at Southern" Day! 🎓✨

Students experienced campus life firsthand with both a walking tour and a bus tour exploring the GSU campus and surrounding area. They got an inside look at GSU’s academic buildings, student housing, and Paulson Stadium! 🏈🏟️

To top off the full college experience, our Tigers enjoyed lunch alongside current GSU students in the Dining Commons and wrapped up the day with a trip to the campus Starbucks! ☕🥪

By the end of the day, several of our upperclassmen realized that Georgia Southern is exactly where they want to call home after graduation! We love seeing our students explore post-secondary pathways and level up their future goals! 🌟

Big thanks to the staff and organizers who made this trip possible for our Tigers and (possibly future Eagles) as we move forward with one shared purpose under One Roar! ⚡

Once a Tiger, always a Tiger! 🐅🐾
