Highland Park High School is proud to partner with two programs that prepare and assist students with the college process: College Bound Opportunities and Schuler Scholars. 

College Bound Opportunities

College Bound Opportunities (CBO) mentors, empowers and inspires low income, first- generation Scholars to overcome barriers, graduate college and achieve success. CBO Scholars receive individualized support through junior and senior year of high school, guidance through each step of the college application process and continued guidance throughout college. College Scholars receive weekly 1:1 check-ins, access to summer employment opportunities and summer workshops devoted to building skills necessary to gain employment after college.

Once accepted to CBO, each Scholar is carefully matched with a mentor which spans throughout their 6 years in the program, often building relationships that last beyond college graduation.

To qualify for CBO, students must be sophomores in high school, have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and a strong desire to attend a four-year college. Applications are available April 1.
