Rising Scholars
Program |
|
CHS has started a program for minority
juniors and seniors called the "Rising Scholars." These
students are college-bound or have college potential and
are identified on the basis of grades, PSAT scores, and
teacher recommendations. |
|
|
|
The program is an initiative of the School
Improvement Team Minority Achievement Committee, the CHS
administration, and Mr. Charles Priddee,
cpriddee@bcps.org,
Minority Outreach Counselor. |
|
|
|
The program hopes to increase the changes
of admission to a two or four-year college for these
students and assists them and their parents with
navigating the college application and financial aid maze. |
|
|
|
Tutoring by U.M.B.C. Meyerhoff Scholars is
also available for these students. |
