About us

THE STORY

While Montgomery County, Maryland has an excellent public school system and is relatively affluent, there is an enormous opportunity gap in attaining post-secondary credentials.

In 2003 B-CC HS parents Cathie Goltz, Nancy Leopold and Nancy Zeller realized that students who would be the first in their families to go to college were at a tremendous disadvantage. Unlike their more affluent classmates, there were few adults who were familiar with the American higher education system to help them successfully navigate the complicated maze of gaining admission to college and securing enough financial aid to attend. In collaboration with B-CC HS administrators, counselors and staff, they created CollegeTracks to turn dreams of college into reality for all students.
