Rutherford County Schools is excited to partner with Winston-Salem State University to bring GEAR UP back in the community. GEAR UP is designed to help middle school students to have a better chance for success entering high school. GEAR UP also allows students to explore new careers and goals for the future.

The GEAR UP Staff is getting started by hosting a Kick-Off Event at each of the three Middle Schools. Food will be provided for students and their families. Games and other activities will be present as well for students and families to learn more about the importance of GEAR UP and what events we will bring to help your children excel in-and-out of the classroom.

We need an estimated count of students and their families who would like to participate in this activity. Dates and times will be provided by your schools administration in the upcoming days. Thank you!
