GEAR UP

GEAR UP works to support two cohorts of students (the class of 2024 and 2025, which this year happens to be 12th graders) and offers them the academic skills, information and encouragement they need to not only graduate from high school, but apply and attend an institution of higher education. 

PROGRAM GOALS
1. Increase academic performance and preparation for post-secondary education.
2. Increase high school graduation rates and participation in post-secondary education.
3. Increase GEAR UP students' and families' knowledge of post-secondary education options, preparation, and financing.

GEAR UP SERVICES

Below is a brief description of services GEAR UP provides to our senior 12th grade students:

1. In-class tutoring (Math, Language Arts, and Science). Tutors are placed in selected classes to support the teacher and students.
2. Before/Lunch/After School tutoring (room K28 & K29) open Monday - Friday.
3. Educational Field Trips (First come first serve basis). No need to pay, students just need to submit a permission slip. Announcements will be made and flyers will be provided.
4. Student Ambassador Program (application available in the GEAR UP room).
5. GEAR UP Bucks (students earn fake money “GEAR UP Bucks”) by attending Before/lunch/after school tutoring and completing work, tutors at their discretion give out bucks during in-class tutoring, attending field trips, and workshops).
