A MESSAGE FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS

College Success Event

College Success is hosting an event for 9th-11th grade parents and students. Attend A HEALTHIER APPROACH TO COLLEGE ADMISSIONS March 10th @ 6:00pm. Experts will guide you with ways to think about college admissions without the stress that sometimes comes along with it.

CUHSD-HBCU Summit

Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the African-American community. Most of these institutions were founded in the years after the American Civil War. There are 101 HBCUs in the United States, including both public and private institutions (of 121 institutions that existed during the 1930s). Click here for more details
