Project S.M.A.R.T. is funded by a federal grant from the Kentucky General Assembly. The goal of Project S.M.A.R.T. is to provide teenage parents with access to advanced technology and real-world experiences in the classroom in order to enhance their academic skills in math, science, and the right technology. The program is designed to provide exposure to institutions of higher education while helping teen parents excel in math, science, and technology to aid them in obtaining the skills necessary to pursue a post-secondary degree. Students in the program are exposed to professional careers with a math, science and technology focus. This is accomplished through guest speakers, field trips, mentoring, career fairs and job shadowing. Students also tour local colleges and universities that offer degreed programs for professional careers. College options are discussed with students to help them find the school that best fits their individual needs.
All Project S.M.A.R.T graduates who are accepted to and attend an accredited college, university or technical school full-time are eligible to receive a free laptop computer.

Throughout the year, these students worked to understand the gaps in achievement, learning, expectations and discipline outcomes that occur in school and society based on racial and cultural differences.
