Gear Up
GEAR UP is an acronym for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs.
It is all about helping students succeed and the idea being that they will in the near future go to college. Gear UP is all about getting students through real and perceived roadblocks to their success.
Students have to apply & be admitted to become part of GEAR UP. For those students that are selected at our school, GEAR UP is completely free.
The Goals for GEAR UP students are:
Successfully graduate from high school
Understand how to enter, pay for, and succeed in higher education
Successfully transition into their first year of college
GEAR UP also has events that you can be a part of. Check out the upcoming event schedule here.
At our school, Mrs. Hernandez is the College Access Advisor. She will be able to fill you in on the details.
