Keeping Our Promise
This year, we’re kicking things off with exciting business leader presentations and college field trips that offer valuable insights into career opportunities and campus life. We also attended many outreach events to introduce our Promise Scholars to students and parents.
Our commitment to empowering every student to reach their college and career aspirations remains at the heart of what we do. Thanks to unwavering support, last year was a tremendous success, and we are eager to build on that momentum. We have a fantastic lineup of events and resources designed to help our students excel, and we look forward to sharing these opportunities with you.
Stay tuned for updates, success stories, and ways to get involved as we work together to make a lasting impact on the lives of our Ontario-Montclair School District students and their families.
Here’s to a year filled with growth, achievement, and new beginnings. Together, we will make a difference.
