On Wednesday,  August 9, 2017, we had some of our Reid Ross Alumni that are currently in college to come back and talk to our Seniors.  We had alumni from NCCU, UNC-G, NCSU and more.  The Seniors could ask questions to the panel and they were able to share some of their experiences.  This was an eye opening time for our Seniors!  Thanks to Mr. Rangel McLaurin for putting this together!
