Our Vision
Guided by purpose, innovation, and equity
Driving a new era of public education where every child has access to innovative, high-performing schools led by strong leaders.
Every child deserves the opportunity to receive a high-quality education that gives them the skills needed to thrive and excel in a 21st century global economy. Although great strides have been made in Texas public education, a significant number of minority and low-income students continue to struggle with access to an equitable, creative, and dynamic education.
A pathway for rising campus leaders
We believe in growing stronger leaders through a collaborative setting powered by a mutually supportive community of practice.
Now more than ever is the time to bridge opportunity and achievement gaps that persist by establishing a successful pathway for campus leaders to design and develop ground-breaking schools. These revolutionary schools will serve as models of equity, empowerment, and innovation for the communities they serve.
We Believe
- All students deserve access to high-performing schools
- Equity-focused empowered schools will meet the needs of the students they serve
- Campus leaders are the architects of success in schools
- Innovative schools are led by innovative people
