First steps after high school can be daunting. Adulting, after all, arrives quicker than expected. Continuing education. Financial independence. Housing. Jobs. Social life, mental health and more. To ease the transition, Akron Public Schools has expanded Dream Day, a program that offers seniors opportunities to envision life post-graduation. The program, launched by Yvonne Culver, the program director for the school district’s counseling department, places dozens of high school seniors in experiences where they can explore the “Four E’s” of post-graduation journeys — employment, enlistment, enrollment and entrepreneurship.
