At Gateway CEO, students learn with a hands-on experience through their entire journey. On Thursday, we welcomed Juniors from our participating schools - Collinsville, Triad, Maryville Christian and Highland. What's amazing is watching current students that showed up nervous just a few months ago, lead the discussion with our potential students for next year's Class of 2027. From a few slides providing an overview of the program, to a team building activity and then breaking into groups to share more about their Class Business, Candy Cane Classic (YES, we are still accepting registrations for the SWEETEST Pickleball Tournament this holiday season), and finally closing out the morning answering questions and encouraging other students to take a chance on themselves and FILL out that application when it opens, our students led the way. It was a fabulous morning of leaders meeting new leaders. That's what this program is! If you are part of the Gateway CEO family, THANK YOU for being a part of this amazing experience!! And to our Juniors, we are so excited to have you learn more about Gateway CEO and take a chance on yourself. Your favorite Senior Class is ahead!!

If you know a Junior at Collinsville, Triad, Maryville Christian or Highland that may be interested in applying, they can sign up for text updates here! Application will open in Jan 2026. https://www.gatewayceo.com/applynow
