The Proper Pencil has widened my perspective on college options and assisted me in navigating scholarship opportunities I never knew existed. Mrs. Fletcher has been by my side since day one in forming college choices, coordinating college visits, securing scholarships, and job shadowing opportunities. TPP has also assisted me in test preparation to exceed my ACT score goals. With the invaluable resources provided by TPP, I’ve been able to successfully and effortlessly navigate high school and plan for college.
