2015 Bezos Scholar Gile Alimasi and educator Judith McWilliams founded Momentum College and Career Festival to bring New Caney High School students access to different post-high school opportunities.
The Festival was a space for students to ask questions, learn about next steps after high school, make connections with potential mentors, and celebrate that the world of opportunity after high school is not limited to four year-universities. In it’s third year, the festival included vocational and technical options along with booths from local pharmacists, cancer researchers, and a paleontologist.
