San Jacinto Amarillo College Partnership
Why Partner? • We want our students and parents to see college as a real option. • Our challenge is to embed the culture of achievement into our school and community, and to make the dream of college become a reality. • With all of the symbolism and daily dialogue concerning college, we must ensure that this becomes more than just mere rhetoric.
Why Partner? • Benefit both students and parents. • Bridge the cultural barriers that keep people from stepping on a college campus. • Expand the presence of Amarillo College throughout the community. • Spread the message and the offerings of Amarillo College to those who can benefit.
Offerings for Parents • Our parents can actually get a GED by working on our campus. • Our parents can receive college counseling at San Jacinto. • Our parents can work to acquire the English language at San Jacinto.
