We are pleased to offer visitors an alternative format for viewing the Road to Success and Faces of SS/HS videos. These videos are now available as video podcasts, and last for about five to seven minutes. This podcast series provides information on SS/HS and introduces some of the local grant sites that have made this Initiative such a success.

The Federal partners are proud to announce that this Web site has received several awards of distinction for quality and service to the public.
