Leveraging Our Partnerships For Quality Education

Pima Community College offers classes in Nogales at the Santa Cruz Center. Students can earn certificates, take courses toward transfer, complete a number of transfer and workforce programs or obtain an associate or bachelor’s degree. Students can pursue associate degrees, certificate programs, university transfer courses (“the basics”) and developmental classes. Often students can complete  lower-level course requirements before transferring to a four-year college or university.

C-CREO (College and Career Readiness & Educational Opportunities) Gear Up Program is managed by the Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office. Its goal is to prepare the next generation to succeed in post-secondary education. Starting with a cohort of approximately 780 seventh graders in 2019, C-CREO will expand several proven and promising practices to re-engineer schools for future cohorts. The anticipated result of this effort is to create a cultural shift in the perceived value of college and career, and to instill in each student a sense of personal responsibility and commitment to succeed.
