In order to ensure our organization continues to provide our community with quality services, the Mission Society evaluates each school year and creates a big picture view of what we've accomplished. Through this effort, we’ve had the opportunity to better understand the effectiveness of our programs, and how we might evolve to increase our impact and expand our reach.
Looking back on 2019, we were thrilled to see how much was achieved by each student, family, and individual that joined us throughout the year. Today, you can read highlights from our findings below!
