College Access and Success

Our college success team works with our students to ensure our high school students are prepared for college and beyond.

Preparing for College and Beyond

The high school’s College Access and Success team is active in organizing school visits by college recruiters as well as student trips to college campuses. The team further supports college preparation by coordinating student participation in summer and year-long enrichment programs to strengthen preparation for college. Our college team spends much of its time providing support to alumni as they navigate college life.

Our students receive support with SAT and ACT tests, collecting high school transcripts, editing personal essays, filing FAFSA, and submitting college applications.
