j Count your children among tomorrow's leaders. Enroll them in a Jewish high school. ewish high school graduates excel. In their academic performance. In their community involvement. In their personal and professional lives. They stand out as achievers. They stand out as people. Surprising? Hardly. According to an AVI CHAI study of 1,250 June 1996 graduates of Jewish high schools across the country, 99% were going on to colleges and universities. Schools like Brandeis, Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Penn, Rutgers, UCLA, Yale and Yeshiva University. Many of these students chose to defer college in order to build on their love for the Jewish land and its people through a year of Judaic study in Israel. The values and achievements of Jewish high school graduates are eloquent testimony to the commitment of teachers, administrators, lay leaders and parents who make the learning experience challenging and effective. However, much more can and must be done. Budgetary constraints put limits on scholarship funds, and on the number of students who can be offered this ticket to Jewish and personal success. . Moreover, Jewish high school students deserve the finest labs, libraries and gyms. Yet, in most cases, the finances of Jewish high schools are stretched to the limit — buildings, books and faculty — with little remaining for the extras that enrich the educational experience. AVI CHAI applauds these schools. And we know they can be even better with your support. It's your future. Make it happen!
