Picture day for underclassman is Monday, September 14, 2026. Will your student be ready

Seniors and Juniors: If you are interested in applying for Early College at UMKC, please submit your application as soon as possible. If you have questions, please see Mr. Webb or Ms. Obeso in the College and Career Center.

Attendance Matters! Every day you show up is another opportunity to learn, connect, and achieve your goals. Missing just a few days can make it harder to keep up with assignments and coursework.
