Printer-friendly version

The collaboration, Compact for Success, between the Sweetwater Union High School District and San Diego State University (SDSU) celebrates its first graduating class after six years of high school reform. We provide data reflecting an increase in college applications, admissions to SDSU, and participating rates of parents and students in cocurricular activities. SDSU will share what is being done in preparation for this first class of Compact Scholars. The university’s goal is to graduate 50 percent of these students in four years.

Presenters:
Earl F. Wiens, Director of Higher Academic Achievement Initiatives
Cheryl Dorris, Director of Curriculum & Instruction, Sweetwater Union High School District, Chula Vista, CA
Gonzalo Rojas, Director of Compact for Success, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA
