Students from Pueblo High School and all over Tucson were invited on a trip to Ivy League schools as part of their participation in the Ivy League Project of Southern Arizona.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The students have been gearing up for college, and the ones from Pueblo High School were recognized last Thursday for their efforts. That’s where KGUN 9 spoke to some of the students that attended the trip this March.
“I originally wanted to go to Harvard, but I didn’t really like the campus. It’s more of a fine arts school,” said Figueroa. Figueroa was one of the 11 students that attended the trip this semester. Jiselle Ladriere is also a junior who went on the trip. She said the Ivy League Project helped build her path toward an Ivy League school.
The co-director of the Ivy League Project of Southern Arizona, Corina Ontiveros, co-founded the Southern Arizona Chapter after she and her husband saw a need for resources in college readiness.
