GALION — The Galion City Schools will be hosting a College Credit Plus informational meeting in the Galion High School cafetorium on Monday, Feb. 1.

The event is open to any Galion City School District student currently enrolled in grades 6-11 for the 2021-2022 school year. Interested students are encouraged to attend along with their parents.

The meeting will be divided into two sessions based on students’ last name to comply with COVID-19 requirements. Masks are required and social distancing will be followed. Students with last names beginning with A-K will meet from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., and students with last names beginning with L-Z will meet from 7 to 8 p.m.
