Education level is the number one indicator of wealth in a community. As the wealth of a community rises, home values appreciate, crime is reduced and businesses flourish.
As a community, we all benefit when we commit time and resources to help at-risk youth to become self-sufficient and trained for the 21st century workforce.
Our Goals
- To break the academic, social and cultural barriers to success.
- To help students become self-determined, confident, autonomous, socially responsible and have a vision for their future.
- To inspire students to become well-educated, self-fulfilled adults who enjoy their life work, are engaged citizens and give back to their community.
- To become a model program and curriculum that helps other districts overcome similar barriers and become catalysts for positive change for their local communities.
- To create a community of strong family networks and success oriented peers to foster an environment for students to achieve their vision.
- To empower parents and guardians with the skills and confidence to be able to engage in the education of their children as advocates and encouragers.
The Plan
- Expose students early to a wide range of science and technology fields through field trips and hands-on experiences.
- Motivates students to take rigorous courses, achieve at high levels and begin planning their futures.
- Increase student proficiency in math, science and reading.
- Develop supportive partnerships with parents and families to assist their student in pursuing a college education in STEM disciplines.
- Create partnerships with STEM industry leaders to provide internships, job shadowing, and college credit opportunities.
