Build your programs on this relationship. • Intersperse lively events with the hard work of preparing for college. Work toward goals that are measurable and shared. • Find financial support to recognize the accomplishments of students. Consider PTA, business partners, service clubs, and the ISD/college Foundation. • Recognize the accomplishments of students and the people who support them. Associate college graduation with reinvestment in the community.
