Bright Futures Mexico strives to help students achieve success by matching student needs with resources through partnerships between the schools and the community.

Those partnership areas include faith-based, social/human services, businesses, and parents and volunteers will be asked to give of their "time, talent, and treasure" to help children. 

The Bright Futures initiative goals are to build relationships, provide for individual needs, and ensure every child has the tools they need to be successful students who in turn become productive and self-sustaining citizens, loving parents, responsible neighbors, and outstanding employees.

Bright Futures strives to meet individual student's basic needs using Facebook as a rapid response system. The goal is to meet any student's need within 24-48 hours. To become a fan, please follow the Bright Futures-Mexico Facebook page!

Bright Futures Site Councils at each school include representatives from each of the partnership areas and meet regularly with school personnel to assess and develop plans to meet the needs of the school and its students. The Bright Futures Advisory Board meetings monthly on the third Thursday at 7:30 a.m. at the Mexico Chamber of Commerce.
