What does it take to help students succeed on their path to higher education?
Educators, administrators, graduate students, and college success professionals are invited to join us later this month for a professional development event at Cal State San Bernardino.

Can’t believe it’s been just over 5 years since we picked up the camera and started filming at DVHS. We had no idea where it would lead. #documentary #indiefilmmakers #husbandandwifeteam #eastbay #TheClassPBS

In her new op-ed for @usnews, Jaye Fenderson, director & producer of #TheClassPBS and co-founder of @ThreeFrameMedia, reflects on her journey—and why we still need to keep the door to higher ed wide open, especially for low-income and first-gen students.

Four months ago, we gathered for the red carpet premiere of The Class with @KQED. Take a look back at that unforgettable evening with Executive Producers @DaveedDiggs and @PresidentHurd, directors Jaye and Adam Fenderson, Mr. Cam, and the students whose stories power the series.

This #IndependenceDay, we’re asking: what does freedom really mean for students?
The average student-to-counselor ratio is 376:1. That's too high. By 2027, 70% of jobs will require education beyond high school.
Freedom means access to guidance, opportunity, and support.
We’re incredibly grateful to our generous supporters who made The Class possible. The Class is now reaching audiences across the country, elevating conversations around youth mental health, education equity, and the need for more school counselors in public schools. #TheClassPBS
