Keeping Our Promise
This month, we kicked 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 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. Thank you to our students, families, and community partners for supporting us in everything we do!
Stay tuned for updates, success stories, and ways to be 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!
