Where Every Student Thrives
Community Schools are a time-tested strategy for student-centered teaching and serving the holistic needs of all students and their families, based on what is needed locally.
Whether it’s help with basic human needs like food or shelter, mental health resources, or simply an opportunity to have their interests seen and a chance to explore them, community schools provide.
