U.S. NAVAL HOSPITAL GUAM, Guam – Guam High School recently wrapped up its two‑day “Thinking About College?” program, an initiative designed to support students as they explored post‑secondary pathways, financial aid options, and college admissions opportunities.

The event opened on Thursday, Feb. 19, with the “Funding Your Future” session held in the school cafeteria. Students participated in presentations from guest speakers covering the G.I.
