JC Jumpstart Grad Program

This program is specifically designed for Pathways’ graduating seniors that have an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) that includes community college.
When do students join?
Seniors will be invited to join the program in early fall after completing a survey sent by the Guidance Department. Grads may join anytime throughout the school year (September - May).
The purpose of the PCS JC Jumpstart GRAD program is to prepare seniors for the Community College transition prior to graduation.
