The CCT Writing Initiative aims to empower students with clear thinking and effective writing skills. Starting this spring, we’ll focus on developing your ability to articulate thoughts and respond in writing through practical exercises. You’ll prepare responses at least two paragraphs long, engaging in both academic and real-world writing situations. The initiative supports 9th, 10th, and 11th graders, helping you become work ready, college ready, and life ready. Join us in enhancing your future through the power of writing!
