More than 300 students attended the 7th Annual Citywide College Fair held at KIPP DC College Preparatory on Saturday, September 22. Families had the opportunity to meet admission counselors, financial aid officers, and attend a college-readiness session to gain more information about the college admission process.
There were 64 colleges and organizations represented last Saturday and we want to send congratulations to the KCP and KIPP Through College & Career teams, as well as all volunteers and staff who were on hand to make this event a success.
Making an informed decision and choosing the right college is one of the most important decisions our families will make and we’re honored to have had the opportunity to put on this event for our community. We look forward next year’s college fair and the success of our students through college and onto successful careers.

KIPP in Touch visited Arts & Technology Academy for this month’s classroom spotlight and stopped by the PreK4 Howard University Bison room, led by Ms. Trinika McClain. During our visit, KIPPsters were enjoying their time learning about the home environment and interacting with each other through various roles of home life.
Ms. McClain has been an educator for more than 15 years and says what makes this class special is their “unique personalities, learning styles, and how they interact with each other.”
Congratulations to the PreK4 Howard University Bison! You can find more images from this month’s visit here.
