For School Districts

“For first-generation college-going kids, College Summit gives them hope. Getting out of the [non-college-going] cycle happens when students see their friends make it. As a Superintendent, I have to prove any and every program's worth to the community. College Summit is a program that stands the test of time...their staff is going in the schools constantly monitoring implementation so I don't have to worry about it. When we had budget cuts, the first thing to stay was College Summit. We cut down on our number of school buses, but not on College Summit.”
- Dr. Ron Duerring, Superintendent, Kanawha County Schools

“Once the teachers in the school saw the program, there was a transformation. It has lessened the burden on our counselors, and a college-going culture is there in our school.”
- Bill Walton, Principal, South Charleston High School, Kanawha County

“There are other college access programs, but none as comprehensive as College Summit. One may focus on financial aid, while another may focus on college selection. College Summit focuses on every aspect of college enrollment in a step-by-step curriculum with on-line tracking and management tools. As a principal, I was able to follow the progress of every student.  College Summit brings innovation and accountability to college access, ensuring that every student is provided structured support and encouragement to enroll in college, regardless of socioeconomic background.
- Roger Smith, Principal, Big Creek High School, McDowell County
