The promise that has been sending El Dorado students to college for free

Twelve years ago, a promise was presented to the students of El Dorado. That promise was simple; if they graduated high school then their college would be paid for.

Now, the small town has seen more students going to and staying in college than ever before.

"They can’t give you the excuse that they can’t go to college," said Patrick Johnson, a visual arts teacher at El Dorado High School.

Since 2007, every El Dorado High School graduate has been offered the "El Dorado Promise."
