Remember what happened at the 2019 NCOSE (National Conference on Sexual Exploitation) Conference in Washington DC?

It’s why our students call us their second home, why on the dance floor they feel supported, able to embody who they really are. It’s why, when strategically integrated with our academic, college and career readiness, and family services, 100 percent of our graduates do what less than half of their socioeconomic peers have done—finish high school on time and immediately enroll [...]
