visions realized KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2007-2008 ANNUAL REPORT
student profiles SEVEN YEARS AGO KIPP DELTA BEGAN WITH THE PROMISE of seeing each member of its initial fifth grade class matriculate to college. Today the students in our first class, the Class of 2010, are less than 24 months away from realizing that vision. Students at all grade levels are proving that more time in the classroom and consistently high expectations are helping to narrow the achievement gap. Below we have highlighted the progress three students have made towards realizing their dreams and visions of their own futures.

planned growth KIPP DELTA WAS FOUNDED ON THE PROMISE of preparing all our students for college. Today, our growing organization is working to give that opportunity to more and more students from the Delta. In the last year our school has grown into two schools—a middle and high school—with plans in the works to open an elementary school in the Fall of 2009. OUR STUDENTS DREAMED of having a flagship campus in Helena, and with the support of our generous community, we broke ground on a $3M multi-purpose gymnasium in June. This building will serve as the cultural and physical anchor for our dream campus, while providing a home for our growing sports and physical education programs. Fundraising Progress for Multi-purpose Gym $3 Million Goal Funds Needed

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it.” — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
IN AN EFFORT TO EXPAND OUR IMPACT beyond Helena, our staff & board worked together with the Charter School Growth Fund to complete a strategic plan that outlines KIPP Delta's growth into four sites across the Delta region. By 2019, KIPP Delta will serve nearly 4,000 students in grades K – 12. Our vision is to double the number of students in the Delta region who are prepared for success in college when they graduate from high school. These students are the future leaders of the Delta, and their success in school is key to the revitalization of one of the poorest areas in our country.
