Communities rich in high-quality educational resources are free to determine their unique potential.
“DEEP is among the best-formed and genuine collaborative efforts in the Southern California region. With a focus on youth success in school, DEEP is creating strategic partnerships that support principals, teachers, parents, and children. DEEP has established itself as a model urban area program that is producing well-documented outcomes and reversing decade-long trends of low-achievement in a community of need.”
– Jose Cruz, Executive Director, San Diego Council on Literacy
