At Skyline Middle College, students are encouraged to dream big, set goals, and take actionable steps toward their futures. One of the most impactful projects in our program is the creation of vision boards, a powerful exercise in visualization and goal setting. Through these boards, our students bring their aspirations to life, mapping out their academic journeys, career ambitions, and personal growth.
As students transition into our program, they are given the space and opportunity to explore their passions. Through diverse course offerings and an environment that fosters curiosity, they begin to shape their paths. Our Student Success and College & Career classes play a critical role in this journey, allowing students to discover various majors, careers, and educational opportunities. By the time they graduate, students have earned their high school diploma and accumulated anywhere from 24 to 60 transferable General Education college units, setting them ahead on their path to success.
A vision board is more than just a collection of images and words, it is a reflection of our students’ hopes and determination. As Oprah Winfrey once said, “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe.” This project helps students visualize their future and instills the confidence to pursue it. It also serves as a reminder that their dreams are within reach, and they can bring them to life with dedication and perseverance.
We believe in empowering our students to take charge of their futures. With a strong support system, rigorous coursework, and opportunities to explore their interests, our students leave not only with academic achievements but also with a clear vision of the future they wish to create.
Please stop by the Middle College Wing in Building 19 to see our students’ visions.
