The Spartan East Side Promise provides a pathway to admission to San Jose State University by clearly specifying admission requirements and actively sharing this information with students and families at the 13 high schools in the East Side Union High School District (the District serves 23,000 students in grades 9-12). The program also calls for San Jose State to offer support and resources to students, beginning in middle school, to ensure that they are on the path to college. The efforts include providing presentations on requirements to students and their families; organizing college fairs; and having university recruiters spend more time on high school campuses.
