Gloria Pitchford-Nicholas (Dean, School of Pre-College Education)

Dean_Pitchford-NicholasWith an enrollment of 25,000 students, the School of Pre-College Education plays a crucial role in the community; we help our students prepare for college and the family-supporting jobs that college graduates enjoy.

Many MATC pre-college students do not have a high school degree or come to us with limited English proficiency. We help our students by offering programs that lead to high school graduation. Our longer-term goal is to prepare students for MATC associate degree and technical diploma programs. 

The School of Pre-College Education offers many pathways to academic success, taking students from the first basic steps to graduation and beyond.
