Together for Tomorrow Supports School Improvement


Deborah Wahlstrom is an educational consultant and the founder of Successline, Inc., a company that supports school improvement. From 2012 to 2015, Deborah Wahlstrom served as the superindendent of Mount Clemens Community Schools. While she was superindendent, Mount Clemens was recognized in the Together for Tomorrow Challenge.

The Together for Tomorrow initiative is a collaboration between the US Department of Education, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. It is intended to recognize and support community-led projects and programs that help support struggling schools.

Together for Tomorrow celebrates and encourages family and community engagement with students and schools in part by measuring the ABCs of student outcomes: Attendance, Behavior, and College access. Some of the initiatives the program has supported nationwide include after-school tutoring from community members, school improvement grants, and partnerships with local organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs that can provide mentors to students in need.
