A group of first-generation college-bound students from East High School roamed the halls and visited classrooms at several Salt Lake City schools Wednesday in hopes of inspiring young students. The seniors visited Glendale Middle School, Community Learning Center, Mountain View Elementary, Parkview Elementary and Riley Elementary.
Members of the East High AVID program — Advancement Via Individual Determination — have been awarded a combined $1.8 million in scholarships so far.
Students in West High School’s class of 2019 walked the halls of Washington Elementary, Bryant Middle School, Northwest Middle School and Jackson Elementary.
