On Monday, 30 Mazama High School seniors made big strides toward their future after high school.

“You guys are right on the brink. You’re at the end of your senior year and you can see graduation coming,” said Ashlie Pence, Oregon Tech interim assistant director of admissions, said to the room of Mazama seniors. “You’re so excited.”

Pence led the students through the Oregon Tech Fly-In, where they applied for college, learned about and applied for scholarships, took tours of their specific departments with Oregon Tech students and met staff and faculty to help them start their college careers.
