The goal of GEAR UP is to get the 7th-9th grade students thinking about career options, where they want to go to college, how to pay for it, and how to do well in school now to make sure they get there!GEAR UP is a federal grant that helps 18 schools across Montana make sure that their students are thinking about college and careers from an early age.
In the past two years that GEAR UP has been in Troy, it has provided field trips to colleges and the Spokane Science Center, the EXPLORE test ( a preparation for the ACT), career speakers, the college fair and college student panel, the career fair, textbooks for classes on career development and study skills, and much more!
If you would like to learn more about GEAR UP and its role in your 7th-9th grade son/daughter’s life, please be sure to attend the parent information session during Parent Teacher Conferences on Tuesday, October 1st. A reminder of this meeting will be advertised on Facebook and emailed to parents.
