This kind of community support helped us ensure last year that 100 percent of our high school graduates enrolled in post-secondary education,” said Mione-Green. “With partners like the Solana Beach Fund, we can continue to help overcome barriers to education, empower students, and break a family’s cycle of poverty in our community.”
