Exceptional resources and opportunities anchored in hope, encouraging excellence, while striving for the highest achievement for all.

our mission is to use the Community school strategy to center Student and family voice, identify solutions, and advocate for systems change, resulting in student success and well-being.

Our work

We use the Coalition for Community School's Community School Standards as a framework for what we do. The standards are designed to engage and support the community schools movement as an evidence-based strategy to promote equity and educational excellence for each and every child, while strengthening families and community.
