Discover District-Level Postsecondary Solutions
To ensure student success, districts must establish a vision for postsecondary support. When they build a vision for postsecondary support that permeates the entire district — including administrators, school leaders, teachers, community members, students, and more — real impact happens. Learn from Chad Luhman, Head Principal at Danville Independent Schools, Shelby Cameron, Secondary Instructional Specialist at Danville Independent Schools, alongside OneGoal Senior Director of Partnerships + Growth Jeron Schmidt and Postsecondary Leadership Coach Kayla Ritter Rickels about their work to build district-level solutions for postsecondary success.
Mentorship to Support Postsecondary Success

In OneGoal’s classroom-based solution, Program Directors build long-term relationships with Fellows to understand their unique circumstances and explore their long-term ambitions. Learn from former Program Director and current OneGoal staff member Morgan Taylor and alumna Lunessa Charles about their relationship and mentorship experience.
