The goal of the Head Start program is to give at-risk children all across our Nation a fair chance at succeeding in the educational system.

Head Start's ability to improve the educational skills and opportunities of Latino children will be an important component of America's future success.

Head Start graduates are more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to need special education, repeat a grade, or commit crimes in adolescence.

Our children are our greatest resource and Head Start grants help them reach their full potential.

We're making these moves to get a head start on 2006.

Funding and maintaining programs from Head Start to Pell Grants must be a high priority.
