CCSD59 Partners with Harper Community College

CCSD59 is honored to announce a new partnership between our district and Harper Community College in an effort to continue providing opportunities for our students to be successful for life.

The primary focus of the new partnership will be to provide college exposure and experience that will begin to shape the thinking of our students relative to the critical importance of post secondary education and careers. The partnership will begin with five key elements.

  1. A Harper College Ambassador (Harper Dean or higher) will be assigned to each of our 14 schools to work with the school and district leadership to develop and plan appropriate college and career preparation activities.
  2. Develop a Careers Program to partner, examine, and develop a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate careers program in CCSD59.
  3. Conduct site/classroom visits and tours of Harper College each spring.
  4. Visits from CCSD59 Alumni who currently attend Harper College to discuss their experiences and express the importance of education after high school graduation.
  5. Introduction to the Promise Program, a student scholarship program under design at Harper College.

All students in fourth grade through eighth grade will be eligible to participate in elements of the new partnership. CCSD59 Superintendent Fessler shared, “The first year of the endeavor will be a learning experience for both parties. We believe that students will increasingly benefit from the relationship between CCSD59 and Harper College which I believe will ultimately increase student readiness for high school and post-high school education.”

More details related to program elements will be shared in the near future as they are finalized.
