• every student, regardless of his or her parents? wealth, ethnic background, or geographic location graduating from high school with the knowledge, skills, and abilities he or she needs to succeed in post-secondary school and the workplace; it sees a future in which fewer students need remediation during their first year of postsecondary education.
• a strong network of community-based college access organizations working together with educators and schools to ensure that all students receive academic and support services to help them stay in school, study hard, and take challenging and relevant courses that prepare them for college.
• parents and families developing high expectations for their children, planning post-secondary education endeavors together, and working with teachers to ensure that their children participate in a challenging curriculum that ensures students are college-ready, and learning about ways to finance college.
• supportive employers, faith-based groups, community organizations, and institutions of higher education that are actively engaged in providing students with mentors who encourage them to have high aspirations, ensuring that schools teach classes that prepare young people for postsecondary education, and helping families learn about opportunities beyond high school.
