“This education & my journey is not to flaunt, it is to inspire; but only who endures to the end… my endurance.”

PeerForward Alumni Abdul Flythe is on to his next journey!

Previously, Abdul was one of our Peer Leaders from Friendship Colligate Academy in Washington D.C. before graduating in 2022. We are so proud to see all he has accomplished these last 4 years.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫🧑‍🏫

We’re kicking things off by showing some love to our PeerForward advisors. Without them, our work would not be possible. Not only do they assist their teams throughout the entirety of the school year, but they take time out of their own summer vacations to accompany their Peer Leaders at their Workshops as well! Thank you, advisors, and educators everywhere for the sacrifices you make to guide the next generation. Stay tuned for more educator spotlights coming later this week!

PGCPS DECISION DAY RECAP! 🎊

On Friday, May 1st, students from across PGCPS gathered at Baysox Stadium to celebrate Decision Day. The event was all about uplifting students as they choose one of the “4 Es” of postsecondary pathways: education, enrollment, employment, or entrepreneurship. It was wonderful to see our Peer Leaders and their fellow students share their next steps. The best is yet to come! 🧡
