We are so proud to have an Ivy League partner like Cornell University partnering with Elmira High School—showing what forward-thinking partnerships can do for our students.
Yesterday, our Elmira High School Upward Bound scholars were recognized during a special visit from national education leader Kimberly Jones, celebrating student success, welcoming new participants, and honoring seniors.
Upward Bound is a free program for first-generation, college-bound students who attend partner schools like EHS—and we’re proud to be just 1 of 6 schools selected to participate. For nearly two decades, this partnership has helped Elmira students build confidence, pursue college, and achieve their goals—and we’re proud to be a model for what’s possible.
If you are a former Elmira student who participated in Upward Bound and would like to share your story, please contact us at info@elmiracityschools.com. We’d love to showcase you in a post to highlight ‘where are they now.’
