SEAN's CORE Study Group Program, which was launched in January, focuses on formation of small study groups that meet twice weekly to study as well as discuss college plans.  These are student-led groups that are designed to maintain a strong and positive peer group focused on achievement.  We have created resource documents for CORE, including a program description here, and a college plan template, here.  CORE stands for College Opportunity/Readiness/Excellence.   We are also reaching out to incoming ninth graders to get them involved in order to have a good start to high school.
