WELCOME TO
College and Career Readiness
Our programs equip every student with the tools, experiences and support needed to succeed after graduation no matter the path they choose. Students who are college and career ready graduate prepared for the 4 E’s: Enrollment in college or postsecondary training, Employment/Entrepreneurship; or Enlistment in the military. Readiness goes far beyond earning a diploma. It means students develop academic strength, career awareness and real-world skills that allow them to move confidently into their future.

FACE Community Room
"As a GEAR UP Student Advisor, I am able to help equip scholars with a better understanding of what they need in order to make the right decisions for themselves, their postsecondary education and their future. I am able to help them discover their passions, open their eyes to the possibilities and encourage them to follow their dreams. Every scholar is unique, and everyone has their own set of skills that they excel in. My hopes are that EVERY scholar realizes this, and they will all be successful in their own way."
