ISA's 2008 Annual Gala Salutes Excellence in Education "Bridge to a Brighter Future" Theme Will Highlight ISA's Success in Preparing High School Stu
Lake Success, NY (PRWEB) May 2, 2008 -- On Tuesday, May 13, 2008, ISA (Institute for Student Achievement) will hold its fifteenth Annual Gala at Guastavino's in New York City, with the theme An Excellent Education is the Bridge to a Brighter Future. At this year's event, ISA will bring together a growing number of supporters and benefactors, investors and educators from across the country, to celebrate student achievement and the ongoing success of ISA's urban partner schools. WABC-TV anchor Bill Ritter and Cheryl James Wray ("Salt" of MTV's Salt n Pepa) will co-host the dinner program.
ISA is a leading school redesign partner that facilitates the transformation of large, underperforming public high schools into small learning communities and small schools designed to prepare all students for success in college. Currently there are 57 ISA partner schools in four states - New York, New Jersey, Georgia and Louisiana - collectively serving 15,000 students.
At this year's event ISA will honor Hassett Air Express, The Thomas R. O'Reilly Scholarship Fund, Wachovia Global Lending Services and Atlanta School Superintendent, Dr. Beverley L. Hall. These honorees are being recognized for their demonstrated commitment to improving public education and leveling the academic playing field. ISA students will also be in attendance, including ten seniors from ISA partner schools who have been awarded prestigious Posse Foundation scholarships.
"Now more than ever, our nation's high school students need an excellent and equitable education that prepares them to succeed in college and in life," said Dr. Gerry House, CEO and President of ISA. "Our partner schools and students have had terrific successes this year - from test scores to scholarships to college admissions. We have a great deal to celebrate."
The evening's "bridge" theme is reflected in the gala's location at Guastavino's in Manhattan, an architectural masterpiece and designated New York City interior landmark tucked in the arches of the Queensboro Bridge. The event begins at 6:00 pm and will feature a cocktail reception, dinner, silent auction and dancing - plus a gallery of student artwork. Proceeds will support ISA's ongoing efforts to improve the quality of education for all students.
