Jimmy Braese is 76 years old. In summer 2018, he became the oldest student at SPSCC to receive his high school diploma through the High School 21+ (HS21+) program.

The IGNITE program launches this fall to help close the achievement gap for vulnerable SPSCC students.

Twenty-four students applied for the program, including five incoming freshmen, and 20 will enter the program.

IGNITE students get personalized advising, coaching, and a team of advocates and resources to keep them focused and moving toward their goals. The program is designed specifically to help first generation, low income, and students with disabilities to succeed.

“Soccer is such a global sport. It’s amazing when people from different backgrounds and countries can come together for a unified goal. I think we need that in society right now.”
