college application day was developed by Clovis North after learning of similar events held at schools in other parts of the state

"Northern California, Southern California is big on these college application days so we thought we want to replicate that....as a high school that's 7th-12 it was perfect for us and we really saw this to be a benefit for our program," Center explained.
