The "STAY" in Project STAY stands for "Success Training for At-risk Youth." Project STAY was created, in 1986, in response to an initiative of the Wisconsin State Legislature. The initiative directed each school district in the state to identify students who were at risk of not graduating from high school, and to create special schools to meet the unique needs of those students.
