Five High Schoolers to Graduate From Montco College Gateway Program

Five high schoolers will graduate Wednesday from the unique College Gateway Program at Montgomery County Community College.

Five students from high schools throughout the county will graduate from Montgomery County Community College's College Gateway program at a special ceremony on Wednesday.

The students are from Pottstown, Bridgeport, Harleysville, and Souderton, the school said.

The Gateway program helps students who have been deemed "at risk" of not completing high school, the college said. Students finish their diploma requirements at the community college while earning college credits for the future at the same time.
