Graduate Support Program
Graduate Support Program
A Nativity Worcester education does not end in middle school. The Graduate Support Program effectively tracks, supports, and mentors students once they have graduated from Nativity Worcester, ensuring each student’s success in high school and access to higher education.
Nativity Worcester’s Office of Graduate Support, consisting of a Director of High School Placement & Transition and Director of College Placement & Transition, work one-on-one with all graduates to meet the growing, diverse needs of our graduates, with the intention of seeing our graduates excel in four-year colleges. Nativity is grateful to Joanne McClatchy (founding Executive Director) and Brian McClatchy for their role in establishing the Graduate Support Program. In recognition of the impact the McClatchy’s have had on Nativity graduates, the Graduate Support Office is named in their honor.
Our Graduate Support Program Provides:
- High School Transition and Completion Support
- After-School and Summer Job Search Assistance
- Events and Community Service Opportunities
- College Search and Application Support
- Mentoring Opportunities
