WE ARE READY (W.A.R.)

Research shows that if students can succeed through the 10th grade, the high school graduation rate grows exponentially. We Are Ready prepares 8th grade students and helps answer the question of “Why does high school matter to me?” Through WAR, we offer academic support, high school readiness, and college exploration opportunities, helping student make connections between academic and professional success.
