GEAR UP

University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, UW-Stout and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction in partnership with the Winter School District, the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal School, The Menominee Indian School District School and The Menominee Tribal School, work with Students beginning in third grade and following them through high school to prepare them to be successful in college. This holistic approach to academic preparation is built on reading, math, science and social studies tutoring to build the foundation for success and other activities that enhance self-esteem, motivation and an appreciation of cultural heritage. Parents and the entire community participate in making GEAR UP a success.
