Where the Class of 2013 is headed after graduation

The Newark High School Class of 2013 is quickly approaching its last day of school on May 30. Many students will head to college in the fall, whether in one, two, or four-year programs. Graduates will stick close to home to attend the Newark Campus of COTC and Ohio State, and some will travel as far away as Florida and Oklahoma for college.
