(DALLAS) — High school students are busy people, and sometimes they don’t look beyond tomorrow’s homework, a Friday night football game or an upcoming date. They are texting, scheduling time with friends and keeping up with one another and the world through Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. However, they
do need to look ahead, plan and learn more about the process of earning a college degree.
Las Llaves del Exito, a free one-day program offered by the Dallas County Community College District, can give students the keys to their success: a college education and information about how to navigate the system so that they can attend a college or university.
Sponsors for the event are DCCCD and the Dallas Independent School District. Partners include The University of Texas at Dallas, the Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Dallas County Schools, the University of North Texas at Dallas and several nonprofit agencies — Education Is Freedom and LULAC National Education Service Centers Inc.
