 Hello current 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th graders!

Do you think one day you might want to go to college? Then consider coming to this informational meeting about TRIO/ETS! TRIO/ETS is a federally funded program that helps qualifying middle and high school students prepare for college. While we specifically work with first generation college students, which means neither one of your parents received a 4-year degree, there are other qualifiers that if you meet them, would allow you to join our program. Please join us at 6:45pm on Thursday, May 12^th in the Cafeteria to learn more about the program and speak to one of the TRIO-ETS Success Coaches. We will be able to answer any questions you or your family might have. We hope to see you Thursday!
