The goals for the program are to prepare students for the academic rigors of high school and to stimulate their minds and imaginations as they begin to prepare for their futures. During the year, the students are exposed to role models with various professional backgrounds and interesting occupations.
Students receive instruction in study skills, math, computers, and personal development.
Also included in the activities are field trips to Tallahassee, Marianna, and Pensacola, as well as tours of various local businesses and institutions. The students have an opportunity to visit Gulf Coast Community College during a typical school day and participate in a science laboratory experience and other college activities. Rewards such as book bags, tee shirts, notebooks and caps are given for grades, citizenship, and special achievements in school and in the community. Copyright 1999 Gulf Coast Community College.
