Our Mission

Our mission is to promote youth leadership through academics, arts, athletics, and activism and to empower student voice by providing opportunities for students to engage in inquiry-based and project-based learning.

In all content areas, we will teach students to make evidenced based arguments and to justify their opinions using persuasive academic language. We will also provide our students with opportunities to make their thinking visible on a daily basis and integrate research proven culturally responsive education (CRE) practices into daily lesson plans.

Our Team

We have a highly collaborative, creative, diverse and socially conscious team. We are seeking activist educators who value hands-on, project-based education that connects student learning to real world issues of equity and justice. Our staff is driven by our school’s PRIDE values: Peace and Justice, Respect, Innovation, Determination, and Empathy.
