High School Student of the Month
Joe Trigueros
Roy High School
"GEAR UP has been amazing because of all the opportunities that I have been given, such as visiting different colleges. I've loved to explore them and experience first-hand what they have to offer me. Shannon Loveland, my GEAR UP advisor, has helped me connect with different people, learn how to pay for college, and what to do when I get to college. It has been a great time meeting with Shannon, Emily, Clair, and the rest of the GEAR UP advisors."
Junior High Student of the Month
Taysha Silas
Syracuse Junior High
"Since joining GEAR UP, it has made me realize that I need to keep up with my grades to further my education and pursue a college degree. I also learned what options I could choose for careers. I plan on using these resources from GEAR UP throughout my high school years. I now better understand what I need to do to get into a college. I plan on doing GEAR UP in high school again in the future."
