🎓✨ Today at Case High School: HBCU College Tours! ✨🎓

Today, Case High School students had the opportunity to connect with representatives from HBCU College Tours and Succeed Beyond High School during a Lunch & Learn experience on campus.

Students learned about Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), the Annual Spring Break HBCU College Tour, and a wide range of post-secondary pathways including college, career, trade, and military options. Conversations focused on access, opportunity, and planning for life after high school.

We are grateful for partners who take the time to meet students where they are and help expand their vision for the future. Opportunities like this play an important role in supporting students as they explore their next steps beyond Case.

Thank you to HBCU College Tours for visiting Case and continuing to invest in student success!
