Encourage early awareness of the Community Colleges as an option and the need for K-12 students and parents to prepare for college success.

Student interest in attending college is often formed in elementary school. High school students who believe college is a viable option are more likely to take college preparation classes and make plans to attend college. California’s overall high school graduation rate is about 71 percent, and only about half of all high school freshmen will continue on to higher education within two years of graduation. With increased early awareness,students will have a better understanding of community college as a viable option and a stronger knowledge of application procedures, college entrance requirements, and financial aid opportunities.
