Why DiscoverU?

DiscoverU is a strategy to help build a “beyond high school culture.” We want educators, students, families and the broader community to share a commitment to student success beyond high school.

Why DiscoverU?

As part of DiscoverU, schools and organizations can carry out many of the college and career lessons they already implement, but DiscoverU provides the opportunity to:•Do them at the same time–So students in all grades are exploring college and career together.•Use the same language–So that the importance of education beyond high school is being reinforced with students and families across all districts.•Bring more stakeholders into the mix–So that the broader community, from mayors to libraries, shares a commitment to student success beyond high school.

We encourage educators to use DiscoverU to put extra emphasis on college and career guidance and to align their DiscoverU activities to existing guidance efforts.
