Chesapeake College recently celebrated the graduation of 32 TRiO Upward Bound seniors from local high schools. These students are now ready to pursue higher education, start their careers, or join the Armed Forces. Mark Berry, the program's director, highlighted the program's role in supporting these graduates' future successes.

The TRiO Upward Bound program, started in 1965, helps students from low-income families or those who are the first in their family to attend college. It provides support from the 9th grade through college, preparing students to succeed in higher education and reach middle-class status.

This year's graduates come from several local high schools, including Colonel Richardson, Easton, Kent County, and North Caroline High Schools. They have diverse goals and have been supported by the Upward Bound program throughout their high school years.
