In addition to the strong foundation of support already in place at our high schools, we offer specialized programs such as AVID, Gear Up,TRIO-Upward Bound, and PACE. These programs are designed to help students develop the skills and strategies necessary for success, whether they are pursuing a college education or preparing for a career. From critical thinking and time management to leadership and communication, the tools gained through these programs can be applied to a variety of pathways.
