About Compact for Success
In 2000, San Diego State University partnered with the Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) to create a program that would bring new educational opportunities to Sweetwater graduates.
The partnership would involve SUHSD teachers working side-by-side with SDSU faculty to examine the rigor and alignment of math and English course offerings and to design a school curriculum that would meet specific requirements for college admissions.
Students participating in the Compact for Success Program would focus on meeting 5 benchmarks. All Sweetwater students meeting these benchmarks would be guaranteed admission to SDSU.
The Compact for Success officially launched in 2000 when the first group of 7th-grade students enrolled in the program. In fall 2006, 203 of these students eventually began their freshman year at SDSU. Today, the nationally recognized, award-winning program has increased Sweetwater’s college-going population by 120 percent.
