22. Relationships
“ It’s nice to know that a lot of my classmates are going to college. I ’m also
proud that I am going to college because now I'm going to do better for
myself.”- Brittany Bingham, Romulus High School Senior
“In an area that has only 18.2% of our residents holding four year degrees,
I can't tell you how excited Reeths-Puffer is about this opportunity. Having
a college adviser serve our students could truly be a game-changer for us!”
- Principal Steve Edwards, Reeths-Puffer High School
“The college adviser that we have placed at Comstock High School has
done an extraordinary job and really fulfilled our vision of what a college
adviser should do to help our low income, first generation college going
students.”
- Brenda Pickett, Local College Access Network Coordinator
(Kalamazoo)
