least 75% students who are at-risk. -
Increase academic achievement as measured by
internal benchmarks and standardized tests. -
Instill in our Scholars the social, interpersonal,and
leadership skills necessary to make a positive impact
on their community and succeed in the professional
world. -
Enable Scholars and families to understand the
pathway to college and what it will take to be
successful in college. -
Ensure that underperforming high school Scholars
receive the support needed to succeed in school.
History
GRS was founded by Margaret Joseph and a group of dedicated Greenville community members in 2007. Since then, GRS has served hundreds of middle school "Scholars" in the greater Greenville, Mississppi area. Our programs work to strengthen core academic skills and provide Scholars with enrichment experiences in the arts, college planning and exposure, and field experiences.
Our overall goal is to prepare middle school students to plan for college even before they enter high school. There are no grade prerequisites to participate in our programs, just a demonstrated ability to respect others and work hard. Our Scholars choose to put in the extra effort needed to ensure academic success and a future full of options.
