Heritage Program

The Heritage Program is designed to address the academic needs of African American students in Riverside Unified. The goal of the Heritage Plan is to increase the number of African American students that successfully complete the 15 courses required for UC and CSU entrance (A through G courses). The Heritage Program provides African American students with purposeful academic, instructional, motivational, and familial supports that will facilitate the student’s progression towards college, career, and world readiness upon graduation.
