History & Mission

We envision a world in which every generation is educated and prepared to achieve their highest potential as active participants in a global society.

The mission of College Bound is to provide comprehensive programs and services that prepare students for admission into and graduation from accredited four-year institutions of higher education.

College Bound was the answer to one simple question: How can a student achieve the dream of a college education with so many barriers in the public education system? This is the question that founders, Andy and Johnnie Savoy, grappled with as they sought to understand why their son was continually being denied access to appropriate accommodations for success in classes that would prepare him for higher education.

A personal mission to prepare their son for college evolved into a community action plan that would become College Bound. Today, College Bound thrives because of intensive family involvement, innovative programs and services, long-lasting partnerships, and the ability to respond quickly and decisively to opportunities and challenges. As a result, College Bound has helped over 750 underserved students achieve their dreams of going to college.
