Upcoming events aimed at promoting secondary education
Next week more than 50 representatives from colleges, the military and scholarship foundations will offer workshops and events to Spokane-area students with the hope of interesting them in some sort of secondary education.
Excelerate Success is hosting the Spokane T-2-4 Circuit. There will be representatives from technical schools, two-year universities and four-year universities.
“It’s really more about motivating younger and younger students to start thinking about a pathway to education after high school,” said Excelerate Success Executive Director Amy McGreevy.
The week-long event targets the 42 percent of Spokane-area students that graduated in 2015 and didn’t attend some sort of secondary education, according to a press release.
Although sessions during the day are closed, the evening presentations are open to the public, McGreevy said. She said there will be raffles with a grand prize of an Apple Mini-ipod.
