College, Career and Citizen-Ready!
Each day in Newport News Public Schools we focus on one mission: ensuring that all students graduate College, Career and Citizen-Ready. To that end, the experiences in our schools prepare students for their roles as learners, future employees and contributing citizens in the 21st century.
The CCC Expo features students from pre-k to 12th grade who will show, tell and demonstrate how they are getting ready for college, careers and citizenship. We invite you to talk with these exhibitors and learn about their coursework, projects, clubs, civic activities, career exploration and other experiences as they prepare for success.
9 - 10:05 a.m.A Journey through College, Career and Citizen-Readiness
Through exhibits and demonstrations, students will take visitors on a journey from pre-k through graduation showing how they are developing into adults who are ready for college, careers and the responsibilities of citizenship.
Beginning the Journey: Guests are asked to begin their journey in the Red Kiva, which features pre-k, elementary and middle school student exhibits.
Enhancing the Journey: Located along the main hallway are a sampling of the business and community organizations that partner with our schools to provide valuable experiences for students along their path to becoming College, Career and Citizen-Ready.
Continuing the Journey: Located in the Media Center are more than a dozen exhibits featuring high school students who are honing their skills, talents and experiences as they ready themselves for entry into life after graduation.
Expanding the Journey: The CCC mission permeates every school in Newport News, and using the power of technology, you have the opportunity to hear from students in all of our schools. As you journey through the CCC Expo, use a QR reader on your smart device to watch videos made by students about what College, Career and Citizen-Readiness means to them.
10:10 - 10:30 a.m.The Significance of the CCC Journey
College, Career and Citizen-Readiness is a hallmark of Newport News Public Schools. As you end your journey through the CCC Expo, please join us for a brief presentation about the CCC program and its significance to students, families, businesses and our entire community.

College-ReadyThe job market of the 21st century will require employees to successfully complete some post-secondary education, and studies show that students who complete college earn an average of $900,000 more over their lifetimes than those without a college degree. This is why we are committed to giving all Newport News students access to coursework and experiences that will guarantee their readiness for all post-secondary options.
Career-ReadyMany of the jobs for today’s students have yet to be created. To prepare for a future that is unpredictable and ever-changing requires a focus on skills and experiences to be a successful employee in any career pathway they choose. Our award-winning Career Pathways program, extensive STEM learning opportunities, robust Career and Technical Education program, and partnerships with local businesses give students a wealth of opportunities to become highly competitive in the future job market.
Citizen-ReadyThriving communities need citizens who can and will contribute their time and talents by lending their service. Newport News Public Schools provides the supports and opportunities necessary to foster these citizenship skills. Our emphasis on youth development and service learning builds and encourages school and community involvement. Students are expected to join a school club, organization or athletic program to give them a vital connection to school and to develop skills necessary for productive citizenship.
