Bret Harte Middle School
YEP's Bridge to College program is the only program in California - and possibly, the nation - designed to provide college & career exploration to HUSD students beginning in the 7th grade through 12th grade. In partnership with Chabot College, instructors provide courses, directly after school, to expand students’ college-level mindset and prepare for college-level work and instruction.
Bridge to College allows students to complete college courses while they complete middle school and high school. Courses offered every Spring and Fall. The course and books are free!
To participate, students must:
- Be 7th and 8th graders (spring semester only) within HUSD at the time of enrollment;
- Have a GPA of 2.0 or higher;
- Obtain permission from school counselor;
- Complete the YEP and Chabot College online application process.
