Get Schooled is founded on the belief that our nation can be made stronger by educating the minds and improving the skills of every American.
Our education system is due for a change.
We believe America’s students, parents, teachers, communities and corporations have the power to make that change happen.
Our mission includes a plan to educate our government on how the public education system is failing, and the ways in which we can fix it.
7,000 high school students drop out each day. We want to convince them to drop back in and finish strong.
Fewer than half of all students who begin college actually earn a degree. We want to see every one of them graduate.
We want to modernize the national approach to career preparation by changing the way we challenge our students and inspire them to succeed.
We want to attract more students to community colleges, and we want more graduates to enter or re-enter the workforce with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in a global arena.
We will track every dollar of the $100 billion in education stimulus spending to make sure it is being spent responsibly. We want every student, parent and teacher to track those figures along with us, and we will provide access to that information through various media.
Everything is connected to education. The better our system works, the more America will prosper. We will work to connect and engage all those who care about education and are actively working toward change.
So get active. Stay motivated. Keep working until we all have access to the education we deserve.
Now is the time to take action.

Get Schooled needs sponsors and partners who appreciate the value of higher education and its accessibility to every student. Our primary goal is to raise awareness for the need to decrease dropout rates, improve standards for post-secondary readiness, and increase the number of qualified graduates entering the work force each year.
Every 26 seconds a student drops out of high school. Every school day seven thousand students walk out on their education. One-third of all students fail to graduate high school. And most low-income students who start college never finish.
Get Schooled: You Have the Right explores the lessons learned by three young professionals who now work for three of the most recognizable people in the world. They all have rewarding careers. They all started with a complete education.
