The grant will be used to administer the program this school year at Alta Vista High School in Tucson and at Mission Heights Preparatory School in Casa Grande.
The elective program instills the business skills, original thinking, and personal values necessary to succeed in today’s job market. The program’s focus is to create new opportunities for both students and their communities.
