GEAR UP works in partnership and collaboration with schools, teachers, staff, and families. Services provided by USU GEAR UP include the following:

Who are USU GEAR UP students?

The USU GEAR UP program supports the graduating class of 2024. Students at Hunter High are currently in 10th grade during the 2021-2022 school year. These students started as 7th graders in 2018. As the students move through the grades, GEAR UP goes with them, through high school graduation, and into their first year of college.
