Overview
Mission
We empower educators, public service and safety employees and leaders, parents, and students to collaborate in building and implementing a unique learning program where students develop a sense of community service and carve a path toward career and life fulfillment through meaningful connections and engagements with public service leaders, employees, and organizations and through the foundational scholarly pursuits of knowledge and the practical experiences gained by service to the community.
What it reported doing in 2021
A school that provides a community where students and families have meaningful connections with the people and organizations that work to make our city and region a safe, responsive and thriving environment. Through these connections our students develop leadership, communication skills, and the necessary academic knowledge to carve a successful path toward career and life fulfillment and service to the community. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 the school was preoperational and plans to serve students in grades 6-10 in the fall of 2023.
