Higher Ground believes in encouraging our students to use their student voice and speak up! Not only about every day issues and topics but also about how they think we as an After School Provider help them be successful in their every day life!
We asked our students the following Question:
“What’s your favorite thing about afterschool program? Do you think being in the program
makes you a better student?"
Here is what they had to say:
"My favorite thing in the ASP is that every Wednesday we do science activities! I think the After School Program makes me smarter by staying longer in class. I like Learning and it helps me to get better at my classes like science and math. I will strive to be the best I can be. I learned that it’s about cooperation, self control and responsibility."

“I like that when we need help the tutors always help us with our homework. I think that being in the afterschool program does make me a better student, here we are rewarded, and this makes your parents prouder for what you do. Oh and I like that if your parents have to be at work the afterschool program will take care of you till 6pm.
