About the Meeting:

Students in grades 8-12 are invited to join us biweekly for discussions on planning for success in high school. Students will learn how to achieve a high GPA through activities such as advanced courses. They will learn how to achieve their college and career goals by being more competitive in their applications through leadership, sports, community service, and other extracurricular activities. They will create plans online and track their progess with their mentors at each biweekly Teen Scholar meeting. RSVP for them all!
