College & Career Prep
Program Snapshot
The Tenacity pathway does not end when students graduate from Ace Academy. All participants who complete Ace Academy are offered continued support and opportunities through the College & Career Prep program.
We strongly encourage Ace graduates to remain connected to Tenacity by providing them with personalized, one-on-one support – starting with the high school selection process and transition into the 9th grade – then continuing throughout high school and the preparatory steps for pursuing post-secondary opportunities.
