Celebrating Juniors

Congratulations Class of 2021!

We eagerly welcome students to REACH Up Now (RUN) upon return from their summer experiences. From our junior interview forward we embark on your college journey together. I watched your confidence grow, leadership develop, and dreams become realities as you participated in your Scholar Group, prepared for the ACT, and planned for the college application/selection process. You laid the foundation for your college applications by work on essay writing, time management,
interviewing, writing a research paper, college selection, and more. What an honor and a privilege to work with all of you, and I look forward to celebrating your future!

Best,

Candace Haggans

A Review of This Year's Student Highlights:

Junior Edition

John Stokes

John won a $50 Target gift card when we did a drawing of all the students who have attended ACT prep sessions the first quarter. We couldn't be happier for him.

Veronica Holmes

Congratulations to Veronica Holmes for winning runner up in our April Aspirations Competitions. She posted an excellently creative video and it paid off! Thank you for participating.

Desmond Thompson

Lead signer of Stax Music Academy, Desmond Thompson, performed in the finale of Ellen DeGeneres' Greatest Night of Giveaways on December 12. We are proud that Desmond is representing REACH Memphis so well.

Brett Hassel and Cayla Thomas

Brett Hassel, a rising senior at Bolton High School, and Cayla Thomas, a rising senior at Germantown High School, were selected as delegates to the 2020 Rotary Youth Leadership Conference. For two days, 100 students participated in leadership exercises and learned from professionals in the community and their fellow students.
