Project Discovery

Based at T.C. Williams High School and the Minnie Howard 9th Grade Center, Project Discovery prepares and motivates low income and first generation college-eligible students to access opportunities in higher education.  Through workshops and trips to college campuses, Project Discovery provides vital information about how to set and achieve educational goals. This program is supported by the Project Discover Advisory Board whose mission is to raise funds, promote community involvement and foster positive public relations.

Ninety-one percent of last year’s Project Discovery graduating seniors continued their education at two- or four-year colleges or technical schools. Show your support by donating and attending the Walkathon at Fort Ward Park.
