What Students are What Students are Saying Saying
“This program has meant to me a chance to take the label off that says that I am not smart enough or not yet ready to take college courses. It’s like a second chance and a head start al in one! I am grateful for it.”
“SUCCESS! I did not just find success through a sheet of paper, but I grew as a learner, engaged tremendously, and built character.”
