More
than 40 seniors who attended Spring Branch ISD high schools and participated in
the EMERGE program made May 1 college and university decisions.
The
EMERGE program operates in several Houston-area public school districts,
including SBISD. EMERGE prepares high-performing students from underserved
communities to apply, attend and graduate from the nation’s most selective
colleges and universities.
From
sophomore through senior year, EMERGE students receive added support, including
after-school programming focused on building college knowledge, workshops for
families, individualized college advising, standardized test preparation, and
summer college tours.
