Congratulations to Waldport High School and GEAR UP Coordinator Jack Boothe!
Waldport High School has earned the first-ever College Access Champion Award from Oregon Goes To College, recognizing its outstanding efforts to prepare students for education and career opportunities after graduation.
Through GEAR UP activities, college and career exploration events, and financial aid assistance, Waldport High School is helping students discover their options and plan for their futures.
"GEAR UP is really the vehicle that allows these students to become more knowledgeable about their opportunities," Boothe said. "Our staff are the ones that help the students believe in what they can achieve."
The school will receive a special College Access Champion banner and recognition badges celebrating its accomplishments.
Congratulations to Jack, the Waldport High School staff and students for this well-deserved recognition!
