Green, Metcalfe, chosen for GEAR UP, KY Green County Middle School, Metcalfe Middle School among 29 schools across Commonwealth selected for program which follows students through high school Click on headline for full story with graphic, list of all 29 schools By Sue Patrick News from Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education GEAR UP Kentucky announced that 29 schools have been selected to participate in a new $26.9 million college-readiness grant award. The announcement was made earlier Friday, March 23, 2012, at a launch rally at Holmes High School in Covington. GEAR UP, Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, anticipates serving 10,000 Kentucky students from low-income schools over the life of the six-year federal grant. The program serves entire cohorts of students and follows them throughout high school. Hundreds of students from Holmes Middle School, Newport Middle School and Bellevue High School attended the rally and pledged to graduate high school ready for college-level work. "I am so excited by this event and encouraged by the hopes and dreams that I perceive on the face of each student," said Yvonne Lovell, executive director. "Today, I am reminded of the enormous potential for our next generation of leaders, doctors, teachers, lawyers and engineers. "This summer I traveled to every school represented in this project today and in every case the educators I met with were committed to ensuring that their students successfully graduate from high school and excel in postsecondary education. Today, I've invited my partners and collaborators to unite with GEAR UP Kentucky and form a community of advocates whose only purpose is 'every student prepared for college success'."Sue Patrick This story was posted on 2012-03-25 02:55:43
