DUE TO OUR UNIQUE MODEL OF OFFERING FREE-TUITION TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, WE DEPEND ALMOST ENTIRELY ON OUR DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS IN ORDER TO COVER OPERATING EXPENSES. THE ROLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT EXTENDS FAR BEYOND FUNDRAISING. AT ACADEMY PREP, DEVELOPMENT ENCOMPASSES ALL EVENT-PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT, MARKETING, AND COMMUNICATIONS AS WELL AS CULTIVATION OF MAJOR AND CAPITAL GIFTS, WHICH REQUIRE FRONT-END INVESTMENTS TO ACHIEVE LONG-TERM BENEFITS. WE EXPECT TO REALIZE THESE BENEFITS IN FUTURE YEARS. ACADEMY PREP'S GRADUATES ARE ITS BEST EXAMPLES OF THE SCHOOL'S SUCCESS IN TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF YOUNG, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS. OUR GRADUATES ARE SERVING AS COMMUNITY LEADERS AND WORKING HARD AS THEY STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF OUR STUDENTS FROM THE ACADEMY PREP CLASS OF 2007 ATTENDED HIGH SCHOOL AT BERKELEY PREPARATORY SCHOOL AND GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA IN 2015. HE WENT ON TO LAW SCHOOL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LEVIN COLLEGE OF LAW, AND WORKED AS A SUMMER ASSOCIATE IN 2017 AT A MAJOR LAW FIRM IN TAMPA. HE HAS SINCE PASSED THE BAR AND CURRENTLY PRACTICES COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LAW AT THAT PRESTIGIOUS LAW FIRM. ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE IS AN ACADEMY PREP GRADUATE FROM THE CLASS OF 2007 WHO WENT ON TO ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL AT TAMPA PREP, AND GRADUATED FROM AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE IN GEORGIA IN MAY 2015, WHERE SHE MAJORED IN PHILOSOPHY AND MINORED IN WOMEN'S STUDIES. SHE STAYED VERY BUSY THROUGHOUT COLLEGE, COMPLETING INTERNSHIPS AT CHILD AWARE OF AMERICA, VOICES FOR GEORGIA'S CHILDREN, AND THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS. SHE INTERNED AT THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. HER PROFESSIONAL GOALS ARE TO HELP UNDERREPRESENTED WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN AREAS OF POLICY AND GRASS ROOTS ADVOCACY. AFTER GAINING MORE WORKING EXPERIENCE, SHE HOPES TO RETURN TO SCHOOL TO STUDY LAW AND COMPLETE A MASTER'S IN PUBLIC POLICY. ANOTHER ONE OF OUR GRADUATES CAME TO US WHILE IN FOSTER CARE AND LIVING IN A GROUP HOME. SHE GRADUATED FROM ACADEMY PREP IN 2011, WENT ON TO CHATHAM HALL, A PRIVATE BOARDING SCHOOL IN CHATHAM VIRGINIA, ON FULL SCHOLARSHIP, AND OBTAINED HER DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. SHE WAS ACCEPTED INTO A COVETED AND HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM WITH MICROSOFT THE SUMMER BEFORE GRADUATION AND WAS OFFERED A SALARIED POSITION AT MICROSOFT, COMPLETE WITH SIGNING BONUS AND STOCK OPTIONS, POST-GRADUATION. ABOUT HER ACADEMY PREP EXPERIENCE, SHE SAID, "ACADEMY PREP DEVELOPS COMMUNITY LEADERS BY GIVING EVERY CHILD A CHANCE TO SUCCEED AND A CHANCE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT." |
