KING GRADUATES

COHORT STRATEGY

In 2006, every first grader at King Elementary in Des Moines became a "dreamer" with our third and final cohort strategy. With this strategy, also known as the legacy model, we supported a small group of students throughout their entire academic careers, providing resources and programming to meet their needs in preparation for the future. As K-12 students, all King Dreamers had a dedicated mentor who invested time and compassion into supporting their success.

​

Our King Dreamers are now our King Graduates, having graduated from high school in the spring of 2018. They are currently pursuing postsecondary education and careers in a variety of fields.
