HIGH ACHIEVERSKappa Phi Lambda sponsors the “High Achievers” program at Bonnie Branch Middle School located in Ellicott City, MD. The program is for sixth, seventh and eighth grade boys. Hopefully, KPL will expand this pro-gram to other Howard County middle schools. The ac-ademic and mentoring program is similar to the Alpha Achievers that’s already in high schools in the county.
