Description	Aim-High Enterprises, Inc. is a start-up, future 501 (C)(3), educational nonprofit organization. We are seeking individuals to serve on the Board of Directors. The inspiration to develop this organization came from the desire to ensure our children graduate from high school with a quality education that prepares them for college, the workplace and life. In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high. -Henry David Thoreau. Thus, my vision for the organization is: - To educate 600 children by providing a college and life preparatory public charter school for high school students. - To create a comprehensive educational program that can be duplicated nationally.
