College and Career Readiness Programs

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.

For more information about any of these programs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school counselor, who can provide further details and assist with any questions you may have.
