After the college fair ended, breakout sessions were held from 10:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. At the workshops, seniors received edits for their college essays, went over the TrailBlazer packet, and learned about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There was also a presentation for students interested in medical careers.

In the afternoon, students participated in a workshop about abuse and domestic violence, where they learned about what they should do if they experienced or had knowledge of incidents of abuse.
