Paradise Valley Unified School District Partners with Elevated Education to Reengage Youth

Teen Victory Program Provides Structure for Arizona Youth Ages 13-21

PHOENIX, AZ (NOVEMBER 1, 2022) — Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVSchools) announces a partnership with Elevated Education to offer students and their families academic re-engagement, and positive mentoring for youth through a project funded by the Arizona Governor’s Office.

“As a leader in academic reengagement, Elevated is humbled to partner with PVSchools to mentor and provide a pathway to educational success for disengaged youth,” said James Meehan, CEO of Elevated Education. “Our innovative Teen Victory Program provides a positive alternative to teens and young adults seeking to reengage in their academic success. We join with PVSchools in thanking the Governor for this much-needed, targeted investment in the future of Arizona’s youth.”

The Program’s objectives include a wholistic approach to reengagement:

  • Analysis of participant’s education history
  • Academic mentoring/coaching
  • Develop individualized learning plan
  • School reengagement
  • Student Victory Team meetings (students, parents/guardians, school counselors, elevated mentor)
  • Ongoing mentoring throughout the school year

“By building relationships with new partners, like Elevated Education, we can work as one team to provide opportunities that enrich the lives of our diverse students. Focused on student success, we know that our students will succeed,” said Dr. Troy Bales, Superintendent of Paradise Valley Unified School District. “So, we are thrilled to partner with Elevated Education and their Teen Victory Program to provide those additional resources to help our students reengage and graduate empowered for a lifetime of success.”
