Promise Programs are scholarship and post-secondary educational attainment programs where the community actively makes a commitment to help prepare resident students for post secondary education and career. Such programs include academic support, college application navigation support, scholarship money, post-secondary education support, and job connection support. The various components are usually provided by existing organizations, but are a part of a larger, and coordinated commitment. Promise programs are active in dozens of cities around the country (Kalamazoo Promise is the most well known). Existence of such programs has shown to have beneficial impacts on not only education, but also economic development. We also invite you to get involved. We need your ideas. We need your counsel. Please engage with us so that we can work together with you and others to establish this program and improve the lives of not only our students, but all community members.

In honor of Women’s History Month, here is a fun fact: Case CLC is named in honor of Anne T. Case (1880-1966), the first woman president of the Akron Board of Education. She became a member of the Akron Board of Education in 1934 and served for 24 years. Can you name other Akron Public Schools named in honor a woman?
