Keys To Success (Middle School to High School Transition)

The Lost Generation realizes that although college readiness is and should be a focus of Texas schools, the preparation process should be emphasized in middle school. As a result, we’ve created a Keys to Success program to build sustainable futures by educating students on how to be successful in high school by producing higher GPAs and informing students of the resources around them to utilize for accelerated growth and achievement while avoiding key pitfalls. 

Components of Keys To Success Program Includes:
