SYCGA seeks to remove barriers and provide students with resources and contacts that will help them on their path to graduation and life outside of high school. In an ever changing, fast-paced society, it is critical to equip students with valuable resources. Therefore, members of the community are invited to speak to our students on a weekly basis, providing them with knowledge and information that will serve them positively in their lives today, as well as after they graduate. Our guest speakers include representatives from local colleges, businesses, social service agencies and motivational speakers. Below are just a few of the partners that present on a regular basis to our students.
