The Creating Opportunities for Academic Success and Transfer (COAST) Program offers strategic academic and student support services to students in 18 Prince George’s County high schools. COAST Advisors serve as the “in-house” Prince George’s Community College representatives and manage all pre-enrollment advising for general recruitment and dual enrollment at each of their schools.
Our Advisors
In a concerted effort to boost statewide college-readiness initiatives, COAST Advisors engage students in meaningful and diverse workshops and activities such as scholarship and application drives, financial aid workshops, parent meetings, dual enrollment information sessions, grade level discussions, collegiate testing support, relevant college preparation conversations, and summer bridge opportunities.
The COAST Program is now active in 18 Prince George’s County traditional public (i.e. non-charter nor alternative) high schools. Those schools participating in the Prince George’s Community College (PGCC) COAST Program include:
