How We Serve High School Girls
The Empowerment, Preparation, and Placement (EPP) Program works with our middle school girls to and through their high school careers. Designed for Black girls who have completed two years in the STEM Saturday Academy program, we offer support services critical to student success and continuing to cultivate zeal for STEM. Understanding that access at the high school level to advanced math and science coursework exponentially improves students’ readiness to tackle a STEM degree program.
