  • 3 out of 4

    3 out of 4 high school students are not developing the skills or knowledge they need to be successful. To change this, we need higher standards. We need Common Core.

    We believe ALL children deserve an equal opportunity to succeed in life. Education is the key that unlocks the door to success, but far too many children, through no fault of their own, aren't getting the education they need to make it in life.

    We at Stand are passionately committed to righting this wrong.
