    As principal, Dr. Samantha Brooks is steadfast in her pursuit to provide the resources that her students at North Houston Early College High School need for success. This #nationalprincipalsmonth, we share our deepest gratitude to partners like Dr. Brooks. Together, we are able to help students unlock greater college and career opportunities. Dr. Brooks shares, "For the students who have academic gaps or haven't had the challenge of an assessment like the SAT before, the [CollegeSpring] test provides good data so that they know exactly where their strengths and weaknesses are and how we can tackle them quickly and effectively so that we can yield those results for them when they take their big test in the spring." Watch the video below to hear from Dr. Brooks and learn more about our partnership with NHECHS. https://lnkd.in/gye4k_Ep

    From the moment I met Dr. Rayyan Amine, she struck me as someone who knew how to get things done on behalf of kids. As I got to know her over time, she was a leader I wanted more people to learn about. Please take a look https://lnkd.in/gdribHiT to see how she is spearheading change and raising the bar for students and educators in Alief ISD in Texas.

    I first met Lissette Rodriguez, Managing Director at Blue Meridian Partners in 2018 when CollegeSpring was a grantee of the PropelNext program, an initiative designed to help nonprofits use data for learning and improvement. I was struck then as I am now by Lissette's willingness to share her wisdom to help leaders and organizations succeed. I hope her insights will help others in the space who are grappling with scale, fundraising, and enhancing equity. Click here to read her thoughts: https://lnkd.in/gBa4v7ZE

This time of year sparks energy that only the back-to-school season can create, and we support our teachers and students to set goals that help them discover their full potential and unlock possibilities, greater choices, and life-changing opportunities. As CollegeSpring President Dr. Paula Gama Garcia shares in her new blog post, "Back-to-school season continues to ring true for me as the launch of something new, something potentially great; it’s an innate feeling that possibility lies ahead. It is our job at CollegeSpring to capitalize on this feeling of possibility and instill in our students the year-long motivation and confidence they need for success."

    CEO Yoon S. Choi, Ph.D. argues in her new op-ed for EdSource that transparency is critical to an equitable admissions landscape that drives student empowerment and choice. Colleges may have unique admissions policies, but they can give every student a fair shot by promoting them with the same standard of clarity and information.
