Houston is the fourth largest city in our country with a quarter of a million students in the Houston Independent School District alone. The fact that only 21% of all HISD graduates earn a postsecondary degree within 6 years of high school graduation is sobering. This reality made Houston the natural choice for OneGoal when we expanded from Chicago in 2012 to become a national organization.
“Before joining OneGoal, I had no idea I was going to attend college. I had concerns about how to pay for it. Thanks to OneGoal, I’m graduating high school and I will be attending college this fall.”
This past year brought significant challenges and immense adversity to many of our communities, yet our students continue to express their commitment to obtaining a degree and pursuing their most ambitious dreams.
Join us May 13 as we celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and accomplishments of Houston students at our Dream it. Achieve it. Virtual Gala.
“I believe there are limitless possibilities for our Fellows. I’m humbled to work alongside my region, our board, and our communities to support them to take hold of those possibilities. Together, we go further.”
