El Paso Collaborative for Academic Excellence

The El Paso Collaborative for Academic Excellence hosted a P-16 Summit on June 20-21, 2007, focusing on creating a college-going culture amid economic challenges. With El Paso's population of 700,000 — predominantly Latino and facing high poverty rates — the collaborative aims to ensure academic success for all students. Key goals include increasing high school graduation rates, preparing students for college success, and closing the achievement gap. Engaging various stakeholders, including school districts and community organizations, is crucial to promoting education as a community priority.
