TRIO paves path for students' success

By Destiny Magana Cavazos

At Waldo Middle School there are many different types of programs. One of the programs is called TRIO. I interviewed Mr. Larios, a teacher that’s in the TRIO program, and I also interviewed Ms. Brown, a counselor for 8th graders here at Waldo.

TRIO is one of the programs here at Waldo Middle School that supports kids getting ready for college. It also helps people get into college.
