Program Snapshot

Graduating from high school is a tremendous achievement, but it is not an endpoint. As our modern economy increasingly requires post-secondary credentials in order to earn a living wage, it is crucial that all youth have access to quality post-secondary education and career pathways to become productive and successful adults.

Whether heading to a four-year college, pursuing vocational education, or enrolling in a gap year program, Tenacity remains actively engaged with our high school graduates by supporting access, persistence, and completion.
