The Hampton University Upward Bound Program is proud to announce that its twenty-seven Newport News High School graduates of 2021 are making amazing strides towards their educational and career goals!  All of them exemplify the Hampton University motto, maintaining THE Standard of Excellence, as enrolled, enlisted, and/or employed young adults. 
“Congratulations to the young men and women from our Upward Bound program on taking the next step in their academic and professional lives.
