Outreach To Middle and High School Students
Kentucky middle school and high school students are challenged to take the “tough” classes to prepare for college through public service radio and TV ads. This component of the outreach is funded primarily with federal funds through the GEAR UP Kentucky program. Outreach efforts also target parents and/or mentors to stay involved in their child’s academic life and help them plan early for college.
KnowHow2GOKy messages and materials are distributed through a coordinated grassroots network, the Kentucky College Access Network, developed in partnership with the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. Through the sponsorship of the Kentucky Broadcasters Association’s Public Education Partnership prog ram, statewide TV and radio ads began circulation May 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words middle, high, school and/or students:
“During the first formative centuries of its existence, Christianity was separated from and indeed antagonistic to the state, with which it only later became involved. From the lifetime of its founder, Islam was the state, and the identity of religion and government is indelibly stamped on the memories and awareness of the faithful from their own sacred writings, history, and experience.”
—Bernard Lewis, U.S. Middle Eastern specialist. Islam and the West, ch. 8, Oxford University Press (1993)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
