The Euclid High School Scholars Program: Young Men Changing the Academic Culture in Their School and Community
The Euclid High School Scholars Program, in Euclid, Ohio, began in September 2006 with twenty-four students. The students were selected from the African American male population in eleventh and twelfth grades with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. At the first meeting, the young men had an opportunity to meet and greet each other. To their amazement, they realized that they were part of a new minority of academic achievers that existed in the entire school. The first goal for the group was improving the graduation rate among African American students in the school; the successful completion of this goal would accomplish another goalthat of closing the achievement gap between African American students and white students in the school.
