White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans
About Us
On October 12 2001, President George W. Bush signed Executive Order 13230, creating the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans. In the same executive order, the president designated the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans (WHI) as the office that would provide staff support and assistance to the commission in its charge to examine the underlying causes of the existing education achievement gap between Hispanic American students and their peers.
