College Tours for Students & Families
Open to all TPS families!
For many students, attending a two- or four-year college, university, or technical school is a crucial next step on their path to fulfilling their career and life dreams. Families can support their child's higher education goals by joining TPS for our annual College Tours for Families.
Tacoma Public Schools’ Community Partnership Office organizes tours of outstanding local colleges every spring. Guests will tour and learn from college staff about the admissions process, financial aid, scholarships, and college life. Tours are designed for TPS students and families to learn together. Check back here for details about the spring 2025 college tours.
