“The people that you meet there are going to stick with you throughout your life. And the friends will be friends that we will keep for a long time.” Marie Jackson, a junior at Washington High School, is one of thousands of students who have been impacted by The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success (ASPS) since it began in 1989. ASPS serves Black, Brown, and biracial students in the Cedar Rapids area, and has partnered with Cedar Rapids Community School District (CRCSD) for nearly two decades. ASPS students receive culturally-specific instruction to enrich their academic experience.
