A Blueprint for Success VII — Education is Freedom 2711 N. Haskell Ave., Ste 2070 LB 18, Dallas, TX 75204 214-432-8550 (v) 214-370-5000 (f) www.educationisfreedom.org Marcia Page, President and CEO mpage@educationisfreedom.org Interview completed with Dr. Tiffany Gurley-Alloway, VP of Evaluation and Accountability (tgurley-alloway@educationisfreedom.org) Education is Freedom provides an example of an effective model to encourage middle and high school students to aspire to and achieve a college degree.
