Josh is a current 8th grade HOH3 and AVID student who participated and competed against over 200 total 8th graders at Garrison. After he earned that honor, Josh moved on to the Annual GEAR UP Career Showcase dinner and presentations at WSU Tri-Cities with his mother, father, and older brother. From there the winners from all 24 middle schools that receive WSU GEAR UP’s Harvest of Hope III grant, were recognized for their achievement as they competed against one another.
