HEC Trio Upward Bound Presents: Back to School Tips! Get to know your guidance counselors. As we head back to school virtually or in person, it is important to know who your guidance counselor is and know how to get in contact with them. Counselors can help adjust your schedules and identify classes that you are required to take to graduate. Counselors can also help with other academic resources such as ACT or SAT prep!

HEC Trio Upward Bound presents: Resource Wednesday! Big Future is a free online college planning tool designed to support students from their first thoughts about college to their first day on campus. Big Future allows students to find colleges based on their preferences from major to location to teacher, student ratio and so much more!
