Our KIPP Through College & Career program starts supporting students in middle school, guiding them to and through high school and college completion through academic, social, and financial advising and programming.

High School Placement

KTCC provides high school placement supports to our eighth grade students to ensure that they have the opportunity to attend college-preparatory high schools.
