The Foundation launched its work in Boston through a deep, long-term engagement at Dorchester High School, a district high school in the Boston Public School system that was facing grave academic and administrative challenges. With resources, partnerships, and dedication, the Foundation and the staff of Dorchester High School made significant progress over nearly a decade, improving performance, graduation rates, and post-graduate success. When Dorchester High School was transformed through school restructuring in 2006, the Foundation continued its work at the new entity, Dorchester Academy. Today, the Foundation maintains an on-going relationship with Dorchester Academy, with a specific focus on Food & Nutrition. http://treflerfoundation.org/
