Recognizing the need to reverse the rising dropout rate and assist high school students, in April of 1988, Orlando Mayor Bill Frederick called upon a group of leaders to go beyond just an examination of the problem and to take it a step further to developing a program that would “promote opportunity for all of our youth – especially the less advantaged – to become productive members and part of the mainstream of the Orlando Community.”

This group became the Mayor’s Commission on Youth Opportunities, and quickly resolved to approach the challenges through a broad-based effort involving Orange County Public Schools, private businesses, government and the Greater Orlando Chamber of Commerce.

On April 4, 1989, the Orlando/Orange County COMPACT Program became a reality. It officially began with a pilot program of 14 students at Jones High School, mentored by 13 professionals from Coopers & Lybrand and AT&T District Manager A. George Fuller. In February 1994, Mr. Fuller became the third Executive Director of COMPACT when he became a loaned executive from AT&T. Upon his retirement in May, 1994, he was hired by OCPS to resume duties as the director of COMPACT.

Since its’ inception in 1989, COMPACT has served more than 10,000 students. For the 2007-2008 school year, it is operational at 13 school sites:Citrus Elementary,Colonial 9th Grade Center, Dr. Phillips High School, Gateway School, Jones High School, Life Skills Center, Memorial Middle School, Mollie Ray Elementary School, Oakridge High School, Orange Center Elementary School, Robert Hungerford Prep High School, Three Points Elementary School, and Timber Creek High School.
