Important Upcoming Upward Bound Information and Events

Important Dates

• TRiO Day Celebration @ Emporia State University February 26, 2013

Rigorous Curriculum

Upward Bound encourages it’s participants to complete a rigorous program of study to help better prepare them for college. Below you will find what a student needs to take during their high school career to meet this standard. It is important to note that not every high school requires a rigorous curriculum for a student to graduate. Several Upward Bound students have come forward believing that their graduation requirements would meet college admission requirements. This is not true in all cases. Students need to understand that a rigorous program of study will not only prepare your student for college but in the majority of cases it will also meet college admission requirements.

As an Upward Bound participant — as a student who desires to attend college and succeed — completing a rigorous curriculum is vital.

Students who graduate high school and completes the rigorous curriculum listed below will be awarded “In Signum Rigorous” (The Medal of Rigor) to demonstrate their determination in college preparation.

Tutoring

Participants at Ruskin HS will have tutoring in room 218 from 2:50 PM-4:20 PM. Participants at Grandview HS will have tutoring in room 113 from 2:35 PM-4:05 PM.
