ITheatre teamed up with ENCORE to immerse students learning about medical careers and a realistic zombie outbreak at school. Here's some more details of what ENCORE is doing in the RGV: Communities for College Readiness (ENCORE) is a initiative developed to increase the number of students ready to complete a post-secondary education. ENCORE develops and implements college and career readiness outreach programs for students, parents and educators by collaborating with school districts, community leaders and corporate/ foundation partners.
