Founded by Secretary Colin Powell, the program
designated MacFarland Middle School as the first
national “School of Promise”. The school receives
support from businesses, organizations and community
groups in efforts coordinated by America’s Promise.
MacFarland also receives assistance from Howard
University faculty and students in fulfilling the goals
of the program: developing ongoing relationship with
a caring adult; having a safe place to be; getting a
healthy start in life; obtaining an education that includes
a marketable skill; and taking the opportunity to give
back to the community.

All CRESPAR projects emphasize the development
of the talents of children and families within the
community. Elementary through secondary school
students and their families are targeted for research
and intervention. The projects assume all children
can succeed with a demanding school curriculum and
a high-expectations approach. Winston Educational
Center and Ketcham Elementary School are partners
in these projects. |
