Looking for our vast library of resources or need support from the Office of College Placement? We have a number of tools to assist you while you’re in college including requesting support from your Alumni Advisor. This page has everything you may need, from book requests to winter/summer course assistance, to help you stay on top of your studies and graduate on time!
Even though our graduates are no longer on our campus, People's Prep supports all of our alumni for six years following high school graduation to help ensure matriculation through and graduation from their post-secondary choices. Each graduate has a dedicated advisor in our Office of College Placement helping resolve small missteps and tackle big hurdles to continue moving towards earning a degree. We follow up with our alumni frequently through monthly phone check-ins and regular in-person meetings and provide additional resources including a textbook library, computers, and yearly financial aid application assistance. Beginning Spring 2017, People's Prep proudly partners with the Opportunity Network, which provides additional resources and support to all PPCS alumni.
In 2016, less than 14% of our city had earned a college degree, so our alumni support is paramount in our strategic plan to achieve our mission. This programming is only possible due to generous donations from our Friends of People’s Prep. If you would like to help our students in completing our mission of college graduation, consider donating today.
"What trips up a lot of students from first-generation and lower socio-economic backgrounds … it’s not that they can’t go to the classroom and figure out what the professor is talking about. What really knocks them out of the game in higher education is the resilience of, 'I got an F this first time but I need to go back to the writing center until I get it right."
Choosing your high school is a big step on your journey to college graduation. People’s Prep believes that all students should have the option of a college preparatory program.
