greeley dream team programs Educational Talent Search (ETS)

Educational Talent Search (ETS) is a federally funded pre-collegiate TRiO program

that creates educational opportunities for low-income and/or first-generation college

students while providing access to higher education and assisting in the transition to

college. Each year, ETS works with over 700 students, grades six through twelve in

Greeley-Evans School District 6, who have the drive to pursue a college education.

Services include, but are not limited to, one-on-one academic advising, tutoring, career

and college-based field trips, educational workshops, financial aid assistance, and

college preparation.

The Greeley Dream Team at Bella Romero Academy

The Greeley Dream Team and Bella Romero Academy have partnered together to

promote school success for Bella students through the Operation Graduation

Program. This program serves 6th through 8th grade students and provides them with

an Advisor. The Advisor promotes academic achievement, increased attendance,

positive behavior results, community resources, and graduation completion. The

Advisor meets one-on-one with the students on a regular basis and collaborates with

their parents to ensure student and program success. Additionally, the students

participate in educational workshops and field trips.

Discovery: The Peer Leadership Program at Jefferson High School

This program is a partnership between The Greeley Dream Team, Jefferson High

School, and United Way of Weld County. Discovery is a series of classes (Discovery

I, II, and III) that serves all Jefferson students. Discovery focuses on ensuring

successful academic, social, and emotional learning experiences. Students learn to

exhibit positive communication, leadership skills, personal and social responsibility,

and positive team building. Students will also participate in community service

activities while in Discovery II and III and, upon successful completion of Discovery

III, students are trained to handle mediation conflicts between their peers.

Teen Parent Class at Jefferson High School

The Greeley Dream facilitates the Teen Parent Class at Jefferson using an innovative

approach to coordinate community partners. These partners provide presentations

and speakers that educate and inform our teen parents on a variety of important topics

related to parenthood and raising children.

Educational Talent Search (ETS) 95% of our seniors graduated from high school.

62% went on to a college or university.

The Class of 2015 collectively received over $377,220 in scholarships. Included in

the various scholarships received, we are proud to share that we had 1 Daniels

Fund Scholar and 1 Dell Scholar.

85% of our students maintained zero disciplinary referrals.
