WHY LIVE UNITED.

When we reach out a hand to one we influence the condition of all.

EDUCATION.

Readiness to succeed in school means children enter kindergarten developmentally on track.
Elementary Readiness
Reading on grade-level by fourth grade means elementary students are prepared to succeed in later grades and to graduate from high school
High School Graduation
Academic achievement is reflected in one-time high school graduation rates
