ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 32 HIGH JUMP

Since 1989, High Jump has helped more than 1,200 students gain access to top high schools across the country. The High Jump experience empowered these young people to see and realize their own potential. With newfound confidence and competencies, High Jump students are able to attend competitive high schools and premier colleges, setting them up for careers that forever positively alter the trajectory of their lives.

Knowing that we have a model that works, and thanks to our generous supporters, High Jump has expanded the program to serve more students, and we are now able to accept 180 new students each year.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, 2015-2016 was an amazing year of success for High Jump and we are so proud to hear about the many stories of talented High Jump students who have changed their educational and life trajectories because of our program. Thank you for empowering the young people we serve with the opportunity to reach a bit closer to their dreams.
