For seniors who are interested in attending SRJC after high school
JumpStart is an early college preparation program designed to help and prepare high school seniors to make a smooth transition from high school to SRJC. Through the JumpStart program, seniors will complete all the required steps to attend SRJC after high school, including registering for their first semester of college classes before they graduate!
The concept of the JumpStart program was initiated at Casa Grande High School. With the partnership of SRJC, JumpStart was piloted for the first time in 2013. Because of the tremendous success of the program over the years, other local high schools started their own JumpStart program modeled after our own at CGHS. As of the 2021-22 school year, the JumpStart program is now recognized county wide!
Research shows that students who complete this early college preparation process (Orientation, Assessment, and Education Plan) are more successful in achieving their educational and career goals. In addition, completing these steps will provide students with priority registration and prepare them for their first official semester at SRJC. Students will also become familiar with SRJC programs, services, and resources to help them be successful at and beyond SRJC.
