Mission Graduates’ College and Career Center team celebrated their first high school graduation this year after an amazing start to new programming at John O’Connell High School.
As a partner in the Mission Promise Neighborhood, Mission Graduates came together with staff from partner organizations around the Mission for a scholarships fundraiser – raising over $10,000 for students graduating from John O’Connell this year.
MG Board Vice President and Mission Promise Neighborhood Family Success Coach Manager Amelia M. Martinez C. was on hand at this year’s graduation to share the good news with four lucky O’Connell seniors, making higher education a possibility for more Mission youth.
