Please check the schedule below for the week.
Pre-Collegiate Development Program
PCDP is an opportunity for 7th and 8th graders to receive assistance with preparing for high school and applying for college. They teach skills that will be useful for high school and college such as studying, note-taking, test preparation, leadership, communication skills, career exploration and cultural enrichment. They also help parents and students navigate applying for scholarships, completing FAFSA’s, and college and university searches. Interviews for 7th and 8th graders that apply to PCDP will be on November 13th. The program will consist of 2 Saturday academies; one in the fall and another in the spring (Parent or Guardian must attend with student).
