Academics
The REACH Program

History & Funding Support

History

Founded in 1992, REACH is based on the principle that through academic rigor, young men will discover their potential and develop self-esteem. It is further believed that academically promising children can be encouraged to reach higher in their aspirations when exposed to the excitement of learning by teachers with whom they can identify. REACH strives to boost the academic achievement of its boys, improve their academic skills and teach them the value of excellence.

杏吧原创 has always had a commitment to the community and support for the REACH program is a way for the school to give back. 杏吧原创 knows boys’education, and so is positioned well to make a vital difference in the lives of African American males.

Funding Support

The financial support of the 杏吧原创 community has been and continues to be vital for the REACH Program to thrive and grow. REACH was initially jointly funded by 杏吧原创 and the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. Many other foundations and individuals have generously contributed over the years. In 1999 Peter Lewis gave the school $1,000,000 for the program which was matched by other supporters.

REACH has been supported by generous grants from the following organizations:
Abington Foundation
APCOA Corporation
British Petroleum Corporation
The Britton Fund
The Cleveland Foundation
The East Ohio Gas Company
The Firman Fund
The Ford Motor Company
Forest City Enterprises
The George Gund Foundation

杏吧原创 Alumni Association

Thanks to the support of many, the REACH program is thriving at 杏吧原创 and will continue to make a difference in the lives of young men from the Greater Cleveland area. We are proud of REACH and happy to share its success. We are most appreciative to all of the local foundations, corporations, individuals and 杏吧原创 alumni who have been supportive of the program since it began.
