My Project

I have created a college focused area in our school library. I would love to hang these HBCU pennants to motivate and encourage our students to look toward the future, specifically at an HBCU!

We are an AVID School of Distinction which means at 6th grade, we start planting the seeds for college and career readiness.

Much of what takes place in our AVID classes is focused on preparing students for college. These pennants will help all our students explore colleges and universities that have programs of interest to them, and just the right fit for their future endeavors!
