Washington, DC is considered one of the most educated cities in the United States. Yet, we have one of the worst high school graduation rates - a staggering 69%. Even more shocking, some neighborhood high schools graduate only 42% of students. This is unacceptable.
Higher Achievement scholars defy these odds every day. By leveraging the power of communities, Higher Achievement's proven model provides a rigorous year-round learning environment, caring role models, and a culture of high expectations. The result? 95% of Higher Achievement scholars graduate high school on time.
Join us for a captivating one-hour program to learn more about how you can help boost local academic success, and create a Window of Opportunity for more young people across the DC region.

Getting there: The FHI 360 Conference Center is located 4 blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro Station on the Red Line. Valet parking will be available on site. A self-parking garage is located at 2005 Florida Avenue, between Connecticut Avenue and T Street.
