PEOPLE and PLACES: Hickok to guide Middle College program at Cascade
Photos and story by James Hill
Damon Hickok has been selected to lead the Middle College Program, which serves Jefferson and Roosevelt students. The program offers high school students the chance to earn college credit (free of cost, thanks to a Portland Public Schools grant) while still enrolled in high school. In addition to the academic opportunities the program offers, it will familiarize the students to the college experience and help them to realize their higher education potential.
“I encourage faculty members with Middle College students in their classes to suggest that they take advantage of, for example, the support and retention services available to them in the Learning Center,” said Algie Gatewood, Cascade Campus president. “And again, I urge faculty members to get to know Damon and work with him to help ensure that these young people succeed in their classes.”
Congratulations to Damon!
