The goal of the partnership between the Tucson Unified School District and a nearby group is to raise the percentage of students who attend college. College students are sent by the program to mentor middle and high school students. 

Roughly 48% of Arizona’s high school graduates pursued higher education in 2022. The most recent postsecondary attainment data from the state Board of Regents supports this. 

TUSD is working with the Earn to Learn Next Steps Program, which recruits, prepares, and sends college students to assist students transitioning from middle school to high school and from high school to postsecondary education, in an effort to boost its enrollment figures. 

“A crucial part of this strategy includes helping students complete the FAFSA and educating families about the process and benefits of financial aid,” a district spokesperson wrote in an email to KJZZ News. This fall, the free program launches. 

In terms of enrollment, Tucson Unified School District is the biggest school district in Tucson, Arizona. The Governing Board chose Dr. Gabriel Trujillo as superintendent on September 12, 2017. TUSD had about 47,670 students as of 2016. 

More distinctive learning options than any other district in the area are provided by Tucson Unified, the largest school district in Southern Arizona. It makes an effort to give the kids the most educational experience possible. 

Its primary, middle, and high schools all offer a helpful and well-rounded learning atmosphere. The goal of the academic and support services teams is to nurture the child’s intellectual, social, and academic growth. 

The team is prepared to collaborate with parents to help them choose the ideal school for their family’s needs, regardless of whether the child would thrive in a comprehensive school, magnet school, alternative school, or special education environment. 

It is dedicated to providing our community with high-quality early childhood education.
TUSD also provides world language studies, interscholastic athletics, fine arts, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education.
