Shoutout to Brandon Ashley for being our Attendance Hero of the Week! 🙌
The week before spring break, 547 students had PERFECT attendance and were entered into our prize basket drawing… and Brandon was the lucky winner! 🏆🎁 Way to show up and show out!
Heads up - we’ll have another drawing next month, so every day you’re here is another chance to win. Attendance matters, and it pays off! 💥
📚 Be here.

You could be our next Attendance Hero!

We are beyond proud of our Ambassadors for representing with excellence at the TRIO Day Conference!

Our students did an amazing job presenting to fellow TRIO students.

A special congratulations to TWO of our outstanding students (Aaliyah and Tabais) who were recognized as Future TRIO Achievers for being among the top TRIO students! Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and you continue to set the standard for excellence.

We also want to give a special shoutout to our Upward Bound Directors for their dedication and leadership in serving on the TRIO Day Committee. Thank you for your commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for our students.

On this rainy day , we are making the sun shine through our Hooked On Music program with Students! Nothing can uplift a dreary day like some good music!
