Camden County College Gateway Program Gives Students a 2nd Chance

The Gateway to College program at Camden County College will hold its graduation ceremony for 84 students from 11 high schools throughout Camden County.

“For many of our graduates, Gateway is far more than a program,” said President Pugh-Bassett. “It is an opportunity to overcome obstacles, redefine their paths, and achieve an important milestone: earning their high school diploma.”

Members of the 2026 graduating class have persevered through the challenges of parenthood, housing instability, homelessness, mental health, and more. Despite these obstacles, they completed all necessary requirements to graduate through the Gateway program.
