Proven Success
Racquet Up has proven it can provide opportunity through education with 100% of the first three graduating classes earning high school diplomas and admission to college. Yet, there is so much more ahead of us! A new facility will serve as an inspiring base to support returning alumni, current students, and many future participants.
