This field trip wasn’t just fun—it was an eye-opening experience that planted the seeds of possibility. Exposure to a college campus, even as early as elementary school, is critical in shaping students' futures. By experiencing firsthand what higher education looks like, these students can envision themselves in these academic spaces, fueling their motivation and confidence to pursue their dreams.
At Compton Unified, we believe in providing opportunities that expand our students' horizons and prepare them for lifelong success. Experiences like this help our scholars realize that college is not just a dream—it can be their reality.
