J.Rich Atlanta Team with Aaron James from the East Lake Foundation

A few days ago, our team was lead on a tour around the Drew Charter Senior Academy. We were so impressed by the students, teachers, and facility. The campus was beautifully designed and intentionally thought through. From the hallways to the chairs used in the classroom, every detail has a purpose and adds value to the school.

After a quick tour of the school and a reliving some "glory day" moments at the basketball gym, we made our way to the college and career readiness department. This specific department is one of the two areas that we are supporting in our 3rd quarter partnership with The East Lake Foundation.

We were so impressed by the College and Career Readiness team! It was so obvious that the Drew Charter Academy students and their families feel at ease when working with this team. During our meeting they explained that the whole staff is dedicated to helping families understand the college application process, applying for scholarships – and all the different options, emotional counseling and support, etc. Drew Charter is focused on a students success which includes the entire family.

Drew Charter just had their first graduating class and 100% of the students graduated. This is huge! In addition, students are leaving this Fall (right now!) to go off to college, everywhere from GSU to Yail! Incredible.

We arehonored to partner with an organization that is shaping the lives of the next generation and beyond.
