These group of parents/legal guardians participated in a eight consecutive weekly workshops where they learned about the high school system and college admission information, among many other school-related topics (CA dashboard, met with their children's counselors, etc). Some had perfect attendance, too, which reflected on a star printed on their certificate.
Each parent/legal guardian got a certificate and celebrated with their family members in attendance. A group of our OGHS's NJROTC students and a trio of talented OGHS musicians/singers also participated to recognize their efforts and commitment to their children's education and future. The PIQE graduation ceremony took place on the evening of Tuesday, November 12, 2019 in the PAC.
