Prospect-Goshen Rotarians were excited to welcome Dr Sarah Hitchings and Leslie Meers, the Waggener High School College NOW team, to our meeting yesterday to share the incredible impact of this educational initiative.
With the support of PG Rotary members and money, hundreds of Waggener students have received their first college experience, many beginning as early as freshman year. Students are earning dual-credit college hours, building confidence, reducing future tuition costs, and in some cases graduating high school with 30+ college credits already completed.
Even more inspiring, the program is helping change the culture from simply “going to college” to successfully graduating from college. 2026 celebrated the first graduates from college as a result of this program. That is real, lasting impact.
We are honored to play a small part in opening doors for these hardworking students and look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership for years to come.
