81% are Hispanic/18% are African American 50% of the students have parents who never graduated from high school. 32% of the students have parents who graduated only from high school. Only 5% of the students have parents who graduated from college.
The concentration of students who could benefit from your time and presence is much higher than many other high schools. Percentages do not total 100% because some attended some college.
You can give them access. In a world in which minorities are under-represented at the executive level of many corporations and on-screen, minority students coming from lower income communities struggle to be able to see a path to a successful future. By taking some time to come to our high school and speak to students, you can provide to our students a face of success. By sharing your stories, your insights, and your recommendations, you give them something even more – hope – a sense that there is more and they can get it.
