Operation Achievement is a mentorship and enrichment program, which assists selected 6th through 8th grade students in the Georgetown Independent School District to develop the discipline and motivation necessary for academic success. Southwestern University
and Georgetown Independent School District jointly run the program.
Selected students meet with Southwestern University student mentors on
a weekly basis to develop an academic program of study based on student
goals, teacher/parent recommendations and individual learning needs.
