Success Story
When one of our Student Support Coordinators (SSCs) asked a group of students about their plans after high school she was surprised when all of them replied, "I don't know yet!"
She spoke to the group, explained her role with SparkWheel, and asked if they wanted more assistance with college preparation. She informed the students about all the college prep events taking place in the school.
Additionally, the SSC partnered with the College Adviser at the high school and set each student up with a college or technical school tour and FASFA enrollment assistance.
Students and the SSC gather quarterly for a lunch meeting to discuss their post-graduate plans and to answer any questions they may have had.
Eight students have already submitted their applications for college admission, and a few have asked for further assistance with FASFA.
