The program helps students learn that they don’t have to be a tough guy with bad grades; they can be a tough guy with good grades. It lets them unlock potential they didn’t know they had.
This GEAR-UP partnership serves 1500 6th–12th grade students over six years in seven school districts in remote Central Washington: Oroville, Bridgeport, Brewster, Lake Chelan, Omak, Tonasket and Manson.
