Helping Students Transition to College

One of the biggest leaps our students will take during their 10+ year journey with First Graduate® happens soon after they graduate from high school – the leap from high school senior to college freshman.

In order to help students be prepared for successful transition to college, we recently hosted an overnight retreat and a series of workshops designed to prepare students for a successful transition to college.

Throughout these events and workshops we focused on building community as a cohort, reflecting on the meaning of being a first generation college student, discussing the concept of love of learning, previewing academic rewards and challenges, and learning strategies for career success.

Welcome to the College + Career Team, FG9 – our newest class of college freshmen! We are so proud of you for graduating high school and look forward to supporting you through your journey to college graduation!
