College Information

Hello Herrick Parents!  Believe it or not, in less that 5 or 6 years, your child may be in college.  To some of you that probably seems like a long way off.  To others, that thought may seem pretty scary.  This page is designed to give parents some information about the colleges and possible ways to pay for college.  This information is strictly provided as "Information Only!"  The Herrick Support Staff, Herrick Middle School and District 58 make no recommendations regarding any investments or college payment plans.
