Communities In Schools (CIS) brought about 240 high school students to the Northeast Texas Community College campus on March 21†for CAPPED (Certificate and Professional Programs Exploration Day).†

CAPPED @ °®¶¹ÊÓÆµ´«Ã½ †is a program designed to bring high school students to °®¶¹ÊÓÆµ´«Ã½ to learn about programs available to expedite their entry into professional careers in the workplace.† It also allows °®¶¹ÊÓÆµ´«Ã½ faculty to showcase their programs.

Students who attend CAPPED are area high school seniors who currently have no plans for higher education.†The goal is to show students that a college education doesn?t always require four or more years of school, and that °®¶¹ÊÓÆµ´«Ã½ has a great variety of programs and possibilities to fit their needs.
