what we do

Our program mission is to improve annual student persistence rates, increase high school graduation rates, and increase enrollment in programs of postsecondary education.

SMSB is dedicated to reducing high school dropout rates while increasing college readiness and scholarship obtainment among students through extracurricular activities.
