TRiO:
Talent Search
TRIO is a set of educational college access and retention programs sponsored by Southwestern Oregon Community College and funded through the U.S. Department of Education. North Bend High School and North Bend Middle School both have TRIO Advisors who work with our students.
We assist and encourage students to:
>Stay in school and graduate.
>Enroll in college, university, or technical training programs after high school graduation.
TRIO Talent Search is easy to participate in!
Students
Meet with your Talent Search Advisor four times each school year until senior year, when you meet ten times during the year.
Attend free events throughout the year. Transportation and food are always provided. You can have fun with your friends and meet students in TRIO programs from other schools. (Events may be adjusted to accommodate Covid-19 health requirements.)
Ask about leadership roles in Talent Search.
Stop in the TRIO Center in Room 50 to get questions answered or find out what events are coming up. Room 50 is in the back of the cafeteria.
We are using Google Classroom for Distance Learning this trimester. You can see office hours and contact information in our TRIO Talent Search Virtual Classroom below. Open the Classroom by clicking on it, then click on different objects in the room, like my cat, or the view from the window, for links to fun or interesting information.
