The College Look Program offers students the ability to visit and tour a college campus. We believe that it is never too early to start thinking about college or vocational school, so we encourage 9th and 10th graders to go and take a look at a college and start to cultivate and develop a mindset that has an expectation of higher learning beyond high school. Our objective is to prepare, expose, encourage and motivate our students for higher learning.
