PENDLETON -- Looking for a different, non-traditional avenue to return
to school and complete your high school diploma while also working toward
a college degree?
Tri-County Technical College’s new Gateway to College program may be
the answer for you. It’s designed for students ages 17 to 20 who have
recently dropped out of high school and have the academic capability
but struggled in a traditional high school environment. If you’ve dropped
out of school and want a second chance at preparing for the future,
come by the Wal-Marts in Seneca and Central on April 22 between 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m. You’ll be able to talk one-on-one with representatives from
Gateway to College about completing high school and college courses
at the same time. The school districts and adult education offices will
be on hand to talk about the various options to gaining your high school
diploma or GED.
Students who are accepted into the Gateway to College program will
receive tuition and book scholarships. Applications and information
packets about the Gateway to College program will be available. Door
prizes and promotional items will be given away during the day
For more information contact Nita Colman at 646-1542 or call the Gateway
to College Information line at 646-1460.
