Spread the word about your athlete's accomplishments on National Signing Day.
Wednesday, high school athletes in a variety of sports will be putting pen to paper and making official their pledge to play football, soccer, baseball and other sports at the college level.

Expert knows Ladue's Michael Scherer is the tonic the Tigers need right now.
Gary Pinkel, Mizzou football coach, are you listening? Next fall, without fail, you need to play new freshman Michael Scherer and probably both ways. I'd be happy to repeat that. Scherer is a standout senior at MICDS, a private prep school in Ladue. Mizzou hasn’t had two-way starters since the 1960s when Andy Russell of Ladue played fullback and linebacker and Texan Johnny Roland started sometimes at runningback and safety. It can be done. Football is no more physical or demanding today than back in the Dan Devine era, in which, by the way the Tigers were never losing to Kansas State. Saturday’s woeful performance in the other Manhattan only proved the Tigers need to upgrade their talent. Tiny 185 pound backs ran Mizzou’s defense silly. …

Patch spoke with area principals and counselors about the college admission process.
Chesterfield parents and high school seniors are sweating through the final sprint of the college admissions marathon. January is college crunch time.

But, the process doesn’t end there. Students need to stay organized and be aware of deadlines. In order to stay on track, seniors should: Sign up for the ACT and/or SAT as soon as possible. If you haven’t taken these tests or if you want to retake for a higher score, test dates …

Depending on the type of degree you want to pursue, most local four-year colleges have online classes or a School of Professional Studies (for those non-traditional students). I second Ms. Abellard's statement about community college. It's a great way to get the basic courses completed at a great price. Financial aid (loans) are available, but you would need to file the FAFSA to see which one(s) … more ›
