Hollingworth Elementary School is teaching students it's never too soon to start thinking about college.
As part of the "No Excuses University" college-readiness program, teachers on the campus at 3003 E. Hollingworth St. have each adopted a college for their classroom to learn about throughout the year.
Flags of the adopted universities hang in front of the kindergarten through sixth-grade classrooms, representing the Rowland Unified students' spirit of their adopted schools.
Every classroom had a flag to hang, except Cynthia Alvarez's kindergarten class.
