Why The Great Lakes Bay Early College?
GLBEC allowed me to challenge myself and fall in love with learning all over again! Alongside this, I was still able to participate in cross country and track, which was extremely important to me. GLBEC was the best decision I have ever made for myself from an educational and financial perspective. Who could turn down free college at a highly accredited university? It was challenging, but it made me the hard worker that I am today! #SaginawISD #GLBEC #EarlyCollege #SVSU

We want to recognize these teams for their hard work and commitment to quality. We had three teams meet this threshold this year and want to share our congrats and take a moment to acknowledge this achievement: Healthy Families Northern Michigan, Healthy Families America Wayne, and Saginaw County Healthy Families America.
