Brace MAsthead
  • The BRACE Program is unique to the Broward County Public School System. BRACE provides students with information on post-secondary options, such as college, university, technical school, and military service, as well as information on scholarships, financial aid, college admission testing, and the college application process.

    Post-secondary information is provided to students through classroom visits, events, and activities throughout the school year. I encourage students to visit me in the BRACE Office (Media Center). I am available to students before school, after school, during their lunch period, or by appointment.
