PROTOCOL APPLIED WHEN COLLEGE/ARMED FORCES REPRESENTATIVES VISIT OUR CAMPUS:
Students should carefully select the representatives they wish to speak with, since no student can afford to miss the class time it would take to visit with all the representatives. Advanced notice of visits are printed in the daily announcements and appear on the Cedar Mountain website. Students are to get a pass from Mrs. Tighe or Eileen prior to the day of the visit, and talk to their teacher about missing class. All worked missed must be promptly made up. If there is a test or other major conflict, students will not be released from class. Visiting with a college representative is an important service to students, but the visits should never interfere with classroom activity. For further information please see Mrs. Tighe.
The following colleges will be visiting Cedar Mountain:
