Upward Bound

Letter From The Director

Welcome to our web page! Our theme this year is "Changing the Definition of What's Possible." Our curriculum will foster critical thinking, problem solving, and the innovative use of knowledge to prepare students for college and career.

Research has proven that students (1) learn more effectively when they relate their studies to real-world values and consequences and (2) their mathematics and science achievement levels improve by applying classroom learning to the solution of authentic problems. The staff has spent countless hours in developing a unique curriculum designed to:

1 Enhance academic and technical skills that students need for successful transition to college, careers, and competition in a world class workforce.

2 Increase the number of high school students interested in participating in STEM related programs of study.

3 Improve the quality of student understanding of personal finance and economics by introducing fundamental concepts for responsible personal financial management.

While we expend several hundred dollars for each student to attend classes and participate in special programs and activities, we cannot place a price tag on the richness of education and experience you will receive as a result of participating in the TRiO Upward Bound Program. We are prepared to give you 110% and trust you are prepared to do the same.

In the Spirit of Learning & Excellence,
Mrs. Bolden, Director
