2 DEAR FRIENDS

For over 23 years, REACH Prep has guided students on a 12-year journey of academic and personal achievement leading ultimately to college completion. With a combination of steadfast determination, consistent hard work, and intellectual curiosity, our students harness their potential and thrive in and out of the classroom at some of the finest schools and colleges in the country. From the youngest students to the oldest alumni, they all share a deep appreciation for their transformative educational experiences and a commitment to leading the way for future Scholars. We are inspired by our Scholars’ persistence, accomplishments, and meaningful contributions to their communities.

The Times recently reported that “black and Hispanic students are more underrepresented at the nation’s top colleges and universities than they were 35 years ago.” With 100% of REACH Prep students gaining acceptance into a 4-year college and over 90% of REACH Prep students graduating from college, our program model of access to a high-quality education serves as aproven and proud outlier to this disheartening trend. REACH Prep remains focused on removing the barriers our students face to ensure unlimited possibilities for their academic and professional pursuits.

This year’s annual report features reflections from Scholars, alumni and parents on the diŒerence REACH Prep has made in their lives. We are profoundly grateful for the generosity and support of every member of our extraordinary community, and we know that our collective and sustained eŒorts will continue to yield life-changing outcomes. Together, we will empower the next generation of leaders.

With gratitude,

Keith D. Grossman Gina Lucas Chair of the Board of Directors Chief Executive Ocer
