Big Dreams, Big Moves!
Congratulations to Helen, a senior at DeSoto High School, on her acceptance to Howard University, home of the Bisons! 🦬
With the support of her CIS Site Coordinator, Jacqueline, Helen is taking the next big step toward her future. We’re so proud of her hard work and dedication as she embarks on this incredible journey to post-secondary success.
Helen became involved in CIS because of challenges with attendance. Once she got to know her Site Coordinator, she joined a small group called "Freedom to Speak" where a handful of students gather to discuss issues that they might not feel safe discussing with their friends but want a trusted adult to hear. Through this group, Helen has strengthened a family relationship and shared that she feels more confident in making plans for her future.
Nervous about this next chapter of her education, CIS is helping Helen build skills to manage anxiety when it comes to college expectations and campus housing. Having the skills to prioritize her mental health is helping her improve in high school and will be meaningful to her future.
Each year, our team supports hundreds of high school seniors with a solid action plan for life. You can make a difference! Join us in supporting post-secondary success and shaping bright futures.
