Extend your Impact
You're helping us set students up for success through quality education, but obstacles along the way can still affect their outcomes. We know from our students that their families sometimes struggle to afford basic needs that we take for granted—food, shelter, and school supplies, for example. We established a Tuition, Technology, and School Supplies Fund to address these needs because we are wholly invested in the success of our students throughout high school and beyond. You can take your impact a step further by making a donation today!
