Last week staff who service our GEAR UP students attended the ACCUPLACER & TSIA2 Conference in San Antonio! A group of 11 staff members including counselors, deans, and district leaders collaborated with educators from across nation to learn new strategies and best practices that will support student success.

We are excited to bring back valuable resources and ideas that will strengthen college, career, and military readiness opportunities for our students. 💜💛

Week 1 of TSIA Camp is in the books! 🎉

Our GEAR UP students spent the week preparing for the TSIA2 while also building new friendships and connections with their future classmates. Through team-building activities, collaboration, and academic enrichment, students strengthened both their skills and their sense of community.

We are proud of their hard work and can’t wait to see what Week 2 has in store! 📚✨
