When being invited to events, and interviewing for college scholarships, dress clothes are an added, unaffordable expense.
They’re getting good grades, are leaders on campus, and have big goals.
But when they’re invited to high-profile events, sometimes it becomes stressful to find and afford professional looking clothes. “The way that our population is here with 65% low income, it really is hard to go out and buy these things when you need them," Senior class president Alexia Anarai Merino said.It's run by Dr. Teresa Toro, who yearly helps Pueblo High students get admitted, and get scholarships to college.Right now, finances are getting in the way of her student's dreams.“I’m like, do you have something to wear?" Toro said.
If you can help the Pueblo High School College Prep Program you can email their coordinator Dr. Toro at [email protected] or contact Pueblo High School at 225-4300.
