Welcome to College Connection |
| |
College Connection receives state and national recognition and awards:
|
 |
Graduating seniors in Austin, Bastrop, Blanco, Del Valle, Dripping Springs, Eanes, Elgin, Fredericksburg, Georgetown, Harper, Hays, Jarrell, Johnson City, Lago Vista, Lake Travis, Leander, Liberty Hill, Lockhart, Luling, Manor, Nixon-Smiley, Pflugerville, Prairie Lea, Round Rock, San Marcos, Smithville and Wimberley ISDs will now receive two sources of recognition when they walk across the stage to graduate: a diploma and an acceptance letter to college. This is due to a new, nationally recognized program called College Connection. Through the College Connection program, ACC will provide hands-on, one-on-one support to assist every student through each step of the college admissions process. College Connection will help increase the number of graduating seniors who enter college by creating an awareness of the benefits of going to college. Bringing this unique partnership to the community is an important step toward student success. By working together to “close the gap,” we can help improve the quality of life in Central Texas…one student at a time. |
