MEET RAYANNA

“Barnhart prepared me for college through the endless amount of support and advice from their staff. They worked tirelessly to provide me with scholarship opportunities and guide me through any essays that were required, from checking over my work to helping me transfer my thoughts to paper. Everyone there was incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive of us students.”
