"Our partnership with Higher Achievement is a vital component of the district’s overall focus on strengthening the instructional bridge between elementary and high school and ensuring that more of our students graduate ready for college and careers. Higher Achievement and Altria are fulfilling a unique and critically important role by providing after-school and out-of-school academic enrichment opportunities for our middle school students."
