College & Career Immersion

We are a college & career immersion school. Our curriculum is a hyper-personalized dual enrollment program where high school students take COLLEGE CLASSES ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS BEGINNING AS EARLY AS THE NINTH GRADE. GEO pays for everything and provides academic, social, and emotional support so that students learn real-life skills and develop the confidence necessary to earn poverty-busting degrees by the time they graduate from high school.

School Snapshot

GEO was introduced to Baton Rouge in 2013 with the opening of GEO Prep Academy, a K-8 public charter school. The intention from the start was to provide a full K-12 experience and to help students graduate high school having already earned full associate degrees while in high school - a savings of $50,000 to each student and a solid foundation from which to pursue and complete a full bachelor degree. In 2019, GEO opened GEO Next Generation High School with 100 high school freshmen. In 2023, the school serves over 400 students and 68 students form our inaugural graduating class. More than 40% of our 2023 graduates earned a full year of college and 10% earned a full associate degree.

GEO has set the standard for the rest of the state on what students can complete in high school and the incredible capability of young people," Dr. Sue Ellspermann, president of Ivy Tech Community College (and former Lieutenant Governor of Indiana) told the NW Indiana Times during our scholar celebration last week in Gary, Indiana.

GEO Offers Debt Free College Degree Guarantee

Apr 14 2025

After perfecting our model for the past 20 years, we are excited to announce this week our "Debt Free College Degree Guarantee" to all students attending a GEO Academy.

For years, we have helped students understand they are capable of earning a college degree. Our model goes beyond the talk of college and actually places students in real college classes on college campuses, too. As a result, we've seen a growing number of students earning associate degrees (110 so far) and now, a growing number of students earning bachelor's degrees (four so far) while in our high schools.

Principal's Welcome

Dear GEO Next Generation Community,

I am thrilled to write this letter to you as your newly appointed principal. It is truly an honor and a longtime dream of mine to serve in this role at a school with such rich traditions, a strong sense of community, supportive staff, and great students. This community has become my extended family this month, and I am grateful for your support.

I am eager to meet each of you and I want to take this opportunity to share a bit about myself. I am from Greensburg, LA, a rural area about 40 minutes from Baton Rouge. I received my bachelor’s from University of Texas at Dallas and my master’s from University of Phoenix in educational administration. I have served as a principal of traditional and non-traditional schools with a total of 14 years in administration. I am very passionate about school leadership and excited to have the opportunity to join the TIGER family.
