Other partnerships in TMCF’s Redesign Network include:

  • Coppin State University/Coppin Academy High School #434 – Baltimore, MD
  • Southern University/ Capital Pre-College Academy for Girls/Boys – Baton Rough, LA
  • Winston-Salem State University/Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy – Winston-Salem, NC
  • Texas Southern University/Texas Southern University Math & Science at Jones High School – Houston, TX 

“Closing the achievement gap continues to be a priority for the Thurgood Marshall Fund,” according to Dwayne Ashley, president and CEO of the organization. “We have to be leaders in working with the nation to turn our schools around so that we can help to ensure that our children have an equal chance to go to college and to become productive contributors to society.” 

TMCF plans to expand the partnership program to other schools. The program is supported by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
