GEO's 21st Century Charter School in Gary, Indiana, was Recognized with the Indiana Department of Education's "Excellence in College Readiness" Award

▤ Summary

"When we show our students that there is a future for them in college and various careers, they are more driven to do the work to graduate from high school on time. These efforts are paying off," said Kevin Teasley, founder of the GEO Foundation and 21st Century Charter School.This past year, 21C students beat the state average in their demographic by nine times. In 2013, a 21C student became the first in Northwest Indiana to earn a full associate degree while in high school. In 2017, a 21C student became the first in Indiana history to earn a full bachelors degree while in high school. These efforts are extremely important to us and our community as they go directly toward improving equity and upward economic mobility.
