Vision

Students With A Goal is an organization that wants to help students raise the B.A.R.: Believe, Achieve and Receive. As students set goals for themselves and become dedicated, hardworking individuals, they will be successful.

 

Beliefs

  • We believe that failure is not an option.
  • We must commit ourselves to know that we are not here for ourselves, but for our children’s sake.
  • Academic studies, enrichment activities outside the classroom, and life experiences should provide additional support for the social, emotional, and physical well being of all children.
  • We as parents, educators, and community members hold the key to our children’s future. Once their future is determined, we must understand that our future is tied in with our children’s futures.
  • We must make sure these students are on the path for success, and if they are not, we must find the path to which they will take to become successful.
