College Visits, Fairs, & Events 2025-2026
Throughout the Fall, College Admissions Counselors and Employer Representatives will come to Bellingham High to share information about the institution they work for. Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to come and learn more about opportunities they may be interested in. Students are required to sign up and pick up a contract to have been signed by their teacher to release them from class. Visits last 30 minutes.
