And Away They Go: The New York region's Q2 project focused on what's next for the high school Class of 2012. Messenger Post education reporter, Rachel Repard, took the lead role on the project and found that this year’s class of graduating high school seniors is heading off to college with high hopes. With job growth remaining slow, grads are expected to pursue non-traditional careers — or prolong their job searches in the pursuit of graduate studies.
