  • Ensuring Success for Students of Color: The Federal Role in Closing the High School Achievement Gap
    June 19, 2007

    The leaders of nine major national organizations representing communities of color gathered on Capitol Hill to launch the Campaign for High School Equity, their first-ever national partnership to reform the nation’s high schools. This historic event showcased the commitment of these organizations and their members to improving America’s high schools and ensuring that they have the capacity and motivation to prepare every student for graduation, college, work, and life. At the event, the organizations’ leaders signed an open letter to members of the U.S. Congress, urging them to act on behalf of the millions of students whose futures are at risk because they are ill-served, as well as underserved, by our nation’s high schools.
