The Goal and Focus The goal of The College Knowledge project is to help

students gain an understanding about the importance of staying in school, earning good grades and choosing to attend college.

Our focus is to grab the attention of students and provide them with vital information that can and will help with their choices in the future.

Service Within the Community

College Knowledge assist teachers with preparing activities such as Reality Fairs, College Days and other interactive activities to help students build a pathway to college.

Impact From TeacherThe College Knowledge program has been an inspiration to the students. It has made my 6th grade students aware of choices for their futures. Many 6th graders didn’t have college plans but thanks to College Knowledge they are already preparing for the future.
