After high school, what’s next? ASPIRE is the State of Oregon’s official mentoring program to help students access education and training beyond high school. ASPIRE is only in Oregon, and Ridgeview High School is fortunate to be one of the ASPIRE sites out of over 200 high schools state wide offering this program.
About ASPIRE… Students that are enrolled in the ASPIRE program are matched with a volunteer from our community. This volunteer, called an Advisor or Mentor will assist with postsecondary options, meaning “What will I do after graduation from high school?”. Your advisor will help you with: Career Options: What profession is right for me? College Searches: Which school is a good fit for me? College Application Process: Where do I start? Ways to Pay for Your Education: College is expensive-how can I afford it? Scholarships: How do I find scholarships and how do I apply? College Alternatives: I don’t even want to go to College. What choices are there for me?
