Melanie has worked diligently to empower Anderson Monarchs student-athletes and their families as they go through the process of applying to and selecting high schools. She has worked closely with our staff to develop a curriculum that exposes youth and their families to the full range of scholastic options in Philadelphia, while also creating a manageable plan for success. Whether facilitating informational group sessions or providing individual guidance, she is engaged, organized, and caring. And she gets results: with Melanie’s help over the last two years, every 8th grader in our program has been admitted to a select-admission public or private school.
