GO Centers
GO Centers are college-and-career-focused sites located within schools that help create and promote a college-going culture. inspirED administers 22 high school GO Centers throughout Tarrant County. Our centers are located at high schools in the Arlington, Mansfield, Kennedale and Hurst-Euless-Bedford (HEB) ISDs, as well as Uplift Education charter schools.
High school students at all grade levels can learn about careers and college preparation from trained inspirED mentors. Our mentors work one-on-one with students to help them plan for every step leading up to college – from searching for the right college, to degree exploration, to testing, to admissions, even financial aid and scholarships, and much more. We also help students discover and explore multiple career paths that best fit their capabilities and interests.
