Going for the Gold 90 x 20
Level Up: Be the Change you Want to See
Our Going for the Gold mission is to increase graduation rates and reduce dropout rates by supporting all students in reaching their full potential in school, at home and in the community.
Since the G4G inception, all stakeholders (parents, students, community members, businesses, schools and political leaders) have been empowered with research-based strategies that ensure academic student success through the connection of the four G4G pillars (Diversity/Cultural Responsiveness, Build Relationships/District Culture, Health and Wellness, and Graduation 90x20 Focus on Attendance). Each year as our sponsorships increase and we build capacity with volunteers, we will continue to build the model with strategies to support the homes, schools and the communities under the pillars.

September 12, 2018, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm
Can we count on you to take the pledge and support our 90% graduation rate by 2020 and beyond and increasing student attendance?
Attendance is key to student success - September is Attendance Awareness Month, and studies show that there is a direct link between absenteeism and high school dropouts.

Convincing Facts of Why a High School Diploma Matters
- High school graduates are more likely to be employed, make higher taxable income, and aid in job generation compared to high school dropouts.
- High school graduates are less likely to engage in criminal behavior or require social services.
- High school graduates have better health and longer life expectancy.
- Schools and families have limited resources based on survey and feedback.
The G4G HCPS 90x20 Youth and Parent conference scope of work for the target group will provide essential assistance through a linkage of resources.
The event will include building relationship activities to foster educational promotion by removing barriers in the home, school and community for youth, and to strengthen families for the targeted students (rising 9th and 11th graders /2020 graduates) and their parents by providing information of support systems of four pillars. Our team will target schools (with principals approval) for this activity.
