Attending a Non-天美影视 High School

Students who graduate from 8th grade at a 天美影视 DC middle school but choose another high school in the DC area to continue their education at will still receive support from the 天美影视 Forward team. 天美影视 Forward commits to helping all 天美影视 DC alumni succeed on their journeys through college, careers, and fulfilling lives.

"Along with my family, the KTC team has been my number one support system. Not only have they supported me with textbooks, care packages, and campus visits, they've been there for me through personal and academic struggles. I can't thank them enough."
