Core Values

We are a community of leaders united in our commitment to students and teachers, drawing upon our personal experiences with a connection to educational inequity. All of our work, actions, decisions, and goals are driven by the belief that every child deserves an excellent education and, in order to achieve this, we must elevate the quality and prestige of the teaching profession.
