KENT SCHOOL DISTRICT GEAR UP ACHIEVERS
A full-time GEAR UP Student Success Specialist will provide resources and support for your student as they transition from middle to high school, throughout high school, and into their first year of post-secondary education. View our August KSD GEAR UP Family Newsletter to read all about your GEAR UP Student Success Specialist and the GEAR UP Achievers program at Kentwood, Kentridge and Kent-Meridian High Schools.

You can count on GEAR UP Achievers to:
  • Provide tutoring, mentoring, and/or after school programs.
  • Help students and families understand the cost of post-secondary education and how to pay for it.
  • Provide college visits, worksite visits, and/or summer programming each year to help students prepare for post-secondary education and explore career pathways.
  • Partner with families to help understand and support their student's educational and career aspirations.
  • If the student is eligible for the College Bound Scholarship, GEAR UP will assist with making sure they are taking the steps necessary to sign up and remain eligible.
