Hello Buchanan Class of 2025!
Senior Year is Here. Make it yours! Don’t forget your senior group order deadline is September 30th. It’s important to order by September 30th to lock in your order at the best possible price and to receive your senior gear at the upcoming Senior Celebration scheduled for October 14th during lunch.
Our New College Adviser
Have you met our new college adviser? Contact Ms. Leitz if you have any higher education questions.
My name is Ms. Lietz & I am your new College Adviser for the 2024-25 school year. I'm here to help students navigate all different types of college pathways (4-year programs, 2-year programs, trades, apprenticeships, etc.). I will be hosting events throughout the year designed to help students develop their education/career plans for after graduation, so be on the lookout for more information about those! I just graduated from Eastern Michigan University in April (as you can see from the picture) & I'm so excited to help support students as they build their future careers. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions at clietz@buchananschools.com or (269) 695-8403 ext. 20028.
