This year Firebaugh High School started the Early College Guided Pathway for 9th graders with 81 students enrolling in a West Hills College Student Success Course. The Innovation Grant helped with promoting the program with t-shirts to distribute to students in the cohort. Both parents and students were excited to receive their certificates upon completion and to continue on the pathway and the opportunities it will bring. The cohort will continue next year into another set of outlined courses. The same opportunity will be offered to the incoming 8th grade class.
