The past nine years have seen many successes in the ITEP academies: higher graduation rates, increased engagement in academics, students awarded for exceptional achievement in their areas of focus. The Ninth Annual Scholarship & Fundraising Dinner was a time to recognize the successes of our students and contributions of our ITEP supporters.

We hope these photos bring warm memories to those of you who were able to attend the dinner, and illustrate the exciting opportunities for our supporters who were not able to share the event with us.
