The Oakland Community College/ Pontiac Summer Program was designed to provide an educational, academic and career oriented experience to middle ability students (grade point averages between 2.0- 2.5) from the two public high schools in the Pontiac School District- Pontiac Central and Pontiac Northern High Schools. The students participating in the program had completed their junior year and were high school seniors.

The purpose of the program was to provide middle ability students who may or may not be college bound the opportunity to become aware of career opportunities, obtain college orientation information, and improve their academic skills while gaining college credit.
