The Santa Fe Springs Education-Business-Community
Partnership was formed about a year ago to address the needs of
the educational community in the Little Lake and Los Nietos School
Districts. Lake Center, Lakeside and Los Nietos middle
schools form the nucleus of the "I'm Going to College!" program in
Santa Fe Springs. This multi-organizational collaborative
effort to enhance the educational success and increase the college
going rate of all students in this area is one that hopes to have
a direct impact on the community. The main goals of the
program are to:
-
Increase involvement of parents in their child's
education.
-
Enhance parent's ability to serve as educational
advoctes and coaches for their children.
-
Encourage and support students to plan and focus on a
college education.
-
Increase business and community commitment to student
success.
-
Share information on available resources that will
help students succeed.
-
Increase college enrollment and reduce drop out rates
in our community.
Rio Hondo College has spearheaded several "I'm Going
to College!" programs in the school districts surrounding the
college. Each has developed in their own unique way.
