College Ready Academy
The College Ready Academy for first-generation college students at Bishop Dunne Catholic School is modeled after the University Leadership Network at the University of Texas at Austin. The College Ready Academy is a two-year program designed to improve the college graduation rate for students who will be first-generation college students. College Ready Academy includes monthly sessions for students, parent engagement meetings, service-learning, financial literacy, and academic requirements to build college retention protective factors.
