ABOUT YES PREP PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Since 1998, YES Prep Public Schools has redefined what is possible in public education. With close to 18,000 college-bound students across 24 campuses, we are a system of high-performing public charter schools proving that students from underserved communities can achieve at the highest academic levels. Our exceptional results demonstrate that better outcomes are not only possible, but also probable, when school systems build a culture of high expectations, and create effective support systems to ensure that student achievement is at the forefront of every decision made.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Dear YES Prep Friends and Family,
It is our honor to welcome you to our Commencement Exercises for the Class of 2023. When our graduating seniors entered YES Prep, they were promised the support of compassionate, driven educators and a rigorous college prep education. Having now completed their secondary education, I firmly believe that our seniors have all they need to succeed in college and pursue lives of opportunity. As they receive their diplomas today, we recognize their many accomplishments and celebrate their bright futures.
YES Prep seniors, as you move on to the next chapter in your journey—whether that be college, the work force, and/or military service—YES Prep celebrates you. The Class of 2023 is the largest senior class in YES Prep’s history. You now join the YES Prep alumni base, over 12,000 strong, working to make the world better than you found it. Know that we will continue that work alongside you as YES Prep strives to be a force of educational equity in Houston.
We take great pride in our community of families, students, and staff members. Together they have created a place where students are not only encouraged to dream big but also given tools and support necessary to transform their dreams into reality. Thank you again for joining us to celebrate the Class of 2023. It is through their strength of character and hard work that they reach this momentous day. Because of these incredible young people, our collective future is brighter.
In solidarity,
Mark DiBella CEO, YES Prep Public Schools

ALUMNI SUCCESS
ONCE OUR STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, THE REAL WORK OF EARNING A COLLEGE DEGREE BEGINS.
Our first-generation, college-bound students often face a variety of challenges – academic, socio-emotional, cultural, financial or all of the above. They also follow many different paths on their way to a college degree. Our alumni team is dedicated to providing the support and access to resources our students need to be successful to, through and from college into a career.
COLLECTIVE EFFORTS AND SUPPORT SERVICES INCLUDE:
• Transition programming and support (from senior year of high school through freshman year of college)
• Social media outreach and information sharing, email blasts, phone calls, site visits, and periodic mailings to maintain communication with alumni
• Organized alumni events throughout the year
• Formal collaboration with local universities to provide increased support
• IMPACT program support
• Individualized support for alumni returning to college
