Academic Excellence in a Caring Environment
🎉 Let’s celebrate National GEAR UP Week!
Last school year, 137 families received GEAR UP services through Oklahoma GEAR UP’s partnership with Sapulpa Public Schools!
Preparing for college is a family journey. By providing families with information, resources and one-on-one support, GEAR UP helps parents and caregivers better understand the college-going process and support their students as they make important decisions about life after high school.
When families have the information they need, students have another team of support behind them.

Last school year, 1,076 students received financial aid counseling through Oklahoma GEAR UP’s partnership with Sapulpa Public Schools!
For many students, one of the biggest questions about college is, “How will I pay for it?” Financial aid counseling helps students and families understand the FAFSA, scholarships, grants and other resources that can make education after high school more affordable.
Understanding the options can help turn college plans into college opportunities.

Our Business & Entrepreneurship students traded the classroom for a construction site to see what it takes to build something BIG. They learned that it takes a whole lot more than a hammer and a hard hat!
Students explored the many different careers and skilled professionals involved in a major construction project, from the people designing and planning to the teams bringing those plans to reality.
And, of course, they were excited to see what’s coming! Students got a sneak peek at the new cafeteria, commons area, Performing Arts Center, dramatic entrance, and new spaces for core classes.
It’s one thing to learn about business, construction, design, and career opportunities. It’s another to see them being built right in front of you.
Today’s tour. Tomorrow’s career inspiration.
