College and Career Readiness – Schools work on progress through collaboration

 

The Second to Last Benchmark in Summit Education Initiative (SEI)  Cradle to Career Pipeline is College and Career Readiness.

• All students graduate from high school with a plan to be employed, enrolled or enlisted.
•  All students who plan to attend college after high school will complete a FAFSA.
•  Increase the proportion of students who earn a “college ready” score on college placement tests.

The group’s goal is for every student leaving high school to have a plan to become enrolled in college, enlisted in public service, or employed in a job that leads to a career.

A HOME OF THEIR OWN

Akron Digital Academy has a New Campus

“We need our own building,” he told the board. “Our students need a place to call their own.”

And now that vision is becoming a reality.

It’s not every High School girl’s dream to give up her Sweet 16th birthday gifts to benefit others. But that’s exactly what sophomore Dana McKinney at Revere High School did.

McKinney, who has been giving her birthday gifts to others for four years now, was touched by the story of Findley CLC students at the Love Akron Breakfast this past September. And it was then that she decided to give them a sweet surprise.

On December 19th she passed out gift bags to all 500 of the children at Findley.
