The clearest signal that the pilot worked is where these students are headed — into engineering programs, college classrooms, and coursework they are starting before high school even ends.
- Derrick Terry is preparing to study Electrical Engineering at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
- Jalen Thompson is preparing to study Computer Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.
- Aleksandros Kotoni is taking classes at St. Louis Community College at Forest Park.
- Tiana Harris plans to take college courses at Harris-Stowe State University during her senior year of high school.
