Nancy Strothmann, Cape Central High College and Career Advisor, has been named the rootEd Advisor of the Year. Mrs. Strothmann works hard each day to make sure seniors are aware of their options after graduation and she guides them as they make their postsecondary plans. Mrs. Strothmann helps students fill out FAFSA paperwork, complete college applications and educates students on resources like vocational rehabilitation and more. This past school year, Mrs. Strothmann was able to increase the number of CHS seniors filling out their financial aid documents by 10 percent. rootEd was developed to help students in rural communities develop strong plans for life after graduation as students in rural areas face unique barriers to pursuing a postsecondary pathway.
