“For over 20 years of partnership between Goodwill Industries of Central Florida & OCPS, Project Compass has been a difference maker for students who would otherwise not have graduated. A true dropout prevention program, Project Compass has been many things - a haven for students from difficult backgrounds, a triage intervention unit for student GPAs and behaviors, or a small class setting for students with big dreams who need intense academic support. Project Compass is a committed choice by all students and stakeholders opting to join – it isn’t easy, but together with your efforts combined it will improve your life.” – Description from Partners in Education Nomination
