BRIGHT FUTURES FOR OUR NEW GRADUATES
High School Graduates Prepare for College
In 2011, a class of fifty-five sixth graders walked through the doors of Breakthrough and made a 12-year commitment to their education. Those 6th graders have now officially graduated high school and have collectively received 157 college acceptances to 43 distinct colleges and universities.
Celebrating First-Generation College Graduates
On May 21, more than 100 members of the Breakthrough community gathered at Headliners Club in Downtown Austin to celebrate a group of 2017 Breakthrough graduates. These graduates have achieved their dream of a college education and are now embarking on promising careers or continuing on to graduate school. To date, Breakthrough has helped 93 students become the first in their families to earn a college degree.
LET'S TALK!
We want to get to know you better!
Over the next six months, Breakthrough leadership will be reaching out to a sampling of Breakthrough friends and supporters, just like you, to learn more about you, why you support our programs, and what you hope for the future of the organization and our students. 
If you are willing to visit with us about Breakthrough, please let us know at letstalk@breakthroughctx.org today!
