College Access Community for African American Students

Meet Our New College and Career Advisor, Ms. Fleeman!

    Hello Social Circle High School! My name is Ms. Fleeman, and I am so excited to be serving as your College and Career adviser this year. I am a graduate of Georgia College and State University with a degree in Mass Communication.  I strongly believe that college should be accessible for everyone who is interested, and I will help you navigate the process. 

People in your life are likely asking about your plans after high school. They may want to know if you’re going to college, what schools you are applying to, and what you are going to study.  It all feels overwhelming, and I know it seems impossible at times to genuinely enjoy this time without it slipping away. 

More than anything, I want you to know there is someone in your corner during this transitional season of life. Your education is something that can never be taken away from you, and I hope you know that you are valuable and belong on a college campus, if that is what you wish. If you are interested in the workforce or the military, I am also here to help you build your resume, work on interview skills, and find the appropriate contacts. Please do not hesitate to reach out, and I look forward to getting to know you all!
