Get Out, Get Ahead!, otherwise referred to as GOGA is the first multicultural student program in the Monona Grove School District.

First, GOGA proposes to expose minority students to educational resources available within the district, greater Wisconsin, and surrounding community areas.  Establishing college attendance and professional ambitions is a particular focus.  Sponsorship of activities to enhance self-esteem, goal setting skills, and leadership skills is essential to accomplishing this mission goal.

Secondly, GOGA will provide parents of minority students with a forum to discuss issues related to minority student achievement and inclusion in school activities.  We recognize that formation of a partnership among parents of minority students and the district is essential to meeting the academic and social needs of all students, including minority students.
