Wisconsin Covenant gives kids reason to believe

Samantha Petroski of Green Bay likes to play the piano and is really into music, but if her rock star dream doesn’t pan out she wouldn’t mind being a doctor.

At age 13, Petroski’s dreams are clear cut thanks to a little push from the Wisconsin Covenant, a program that asks students to sign a pledge in eighth grade affirming they will earn a high school diploma, participate in their community, take a high school curriculum that prepares them for higher education, maintain a B average in high school, and apply in a timely manner for state and federal financial aid.
