OPERATION ACHIEVEMENT

Georgetown ISD and Southwestern University have formed a mentorship and enrichment program known as Operation Achievement or OA. This program has been a running success for the past 20 years!!!!!!!!

 The program assists middle school students in developing the discipline and motivation needed for academic success.

            Southwestern students known as mentors are paired with middle school students. The students and mentors meet once a week at Southwestern University to develop and maintain an academic program of study based on student's personal goals, teacher/parent recommendations/expectations and individual learning needs.

Here are some quotes from BMS students and their SU mentors:

What do you like best about being in OA

Jorge D-- The educational experience, tutor time.

Jorge's Mentor:  Matt Clark--The interactions, hopefully impacting the 

middle-school students lives and setting them up for high school and 

college.

Michael B--Enrichments--SU scavenger hunt was cool.

Michael's Mentor:  Carlos Cardenas--Interacting with people of 

different age groups and snacks!

Cason C--They help you with homework and you usually 

have fun plus you make friends

Cason's Mentor:  Blake Fredrich--It gives you an opportunity to mentor 

that you normally wouldn't have, and I like to give something back.  

It makes me feel good to help out.

Alex R--The enrichments are really fun.

Alex's Mentor:  Perri Pyle--Making friends, especially with your mentee.
