Program Overview
Pilots Pre-College is a transformative experience for ambitious, rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors in high school ready to pilot life in higher education. Students will work in a field of their choosing at an undergraduate level, but without the pressure of credit hours. The dynamic structure will foster participants’ confidence in their academic endeavors and provide them with the tools they need to be successful in college and beyond.
In following with our Holy Cross Catholic identity, co-curricular activities complement the academic experience and develop not only the mind, but also the heart and the body. Students will engage in application prep, career counseling, leadership fundamentals, and partake in excursions around Portland and the Pacific Northwest.
