Students at Gateway are on the road to college. It takes a lot of work and support to get there. I know that high school would have been easier for me if Gateway had started before 9th grade.

Now it is widely recognized that during the middle grades we have the best chance to keep students on the path to graduation and prepared for success in college and career. These students deserve the best we have to offer.

My big dream is to go to college and become an environmental engineer. Gateway is helping me to learn good study habits and become a better student.

Though my growth at Gateway has been immense, I can’t help but wonder what I’d be like if I would have started on this path in middle school. I am certain that if others are given the chance to grow at Gateway earlier on that they can come even further than me.
