Cultural Celebration Night
Provo High School Cultural Celebration Night
Dear Students and Parents,
The College and Career Center has teamed up with the UVU Gear Up Program, Wells Fargo, and Remembering Our Culture (ROC) to bring you a night of food, entertainment, and college information. The purpose of this event is to bring together students and parents to celebrate the cultural diversity of Provo High School and bring college awareness through a cultural setting.
Several students have volunteered to participate in cultural dances such as European Folk, Latin American, Polynesian, African American, Native American and Asian. ROC, a performing arts group made up of local college students have donated their time to teach these dances to the Provo High students.
Along with the food and entertainment there will be information tables from several colleges and organizations to highlight programs on the Provo High campus as well as ways to pay for college and other opportunities available to students.
This is a wonderful opportunity to come and learn more about educational programs that can help you prepare for college and learn more about the great diversity that Provo High School has to offer!
