RIDGELAND, Miss. – At the 2024 Engage Every Student Summit held in Washington, D.C., SR1 Scientific Research of Ridgeland, Mississippi, was honored with a prestigious award recognizing its outstanding contributions to afterschool and summer learning programs.
Dr. Miguel Cardona, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, presented SR1 as one of 13 exemplary organizations nationwide for its exceptional efforts to enhance students' access to quality educational opportunities.
Founded by CEO Tamu Green in 2005, SR1 Scientific Research was created to strengthen education, health, and technology opportunities through innovative STEM initiatives. In partnership with Forest Municipal School District, SR1 leveraged $450,000 in ARP ESSER funding to triple its program capacity for K-12 students.

SR1 provides students with opportunities to build skills in science, technology, engineering, math, literacy, lifestyle, and outdoor recreation. Over the years, local and regional educational agencies, colleges, and universities have partnered with SR1 to support student success.
