Student Success Initiative
Greetings from the Student Success Initiative (SSI)!
We are a learning community specifically designed to enhance and support the educational experience of our Black & African American, Latinx, and Asian Pacific Islander students.
The mission of SSI is to develop students who engage in successful scholarly practices, build meaningful relationships, inspire cultural awareness, and complete A-G requirements to ensure access to post secondary options. SSI students will develop as leaders within school and community, exhibiting self-actualization, emotional intelligence, cultural competency, and meaningful contributions as global citizens.
