Students nationwide will be able to use it as a resource, as will counselors, teachers and parents who need information about preparing for, applying to and paying for college.

Also in attendance were trustee Anna Eastman, College Board Regional Vice President Richard Middleton, Sam Houston Principal Jane Crump and HISD students.
