Trailblazer Express Testimonials
“I’m a first generation college student and I still remember way back when my friends were going to college and I didn’t know where to start. Just the fear of being rejected was enough to keep me from applying. I know my story is not unique…we want to eliminate that fear as a barrier.”
Jose da Silva, Interim Vice President for Student Access & Success
“A lot of what our students face is they don’t know where to start; the application process, application fees, parents don’t know what to do. I think historically what we have is students that think, ‘Well, I didn’t do too well in high school so a four year college education isn’t my first choice.’ So now I think we’re kind of changing that narrative.”
Jesus Martinez, Sunset High School Principal
