#RethinkHighSchool as a Community Project

#RethinkHighSchool as a Community Project

In May we submitted the next portion of our XQ Super School Project application and are now eagerly awaiting to see if we advance to the final stage on July 1st, potentially moving from 50 applicants to the 5 winning finalists in August! Creating our very own alternative high school model, rEVOLution High, has been an inspiring journey that has engaged our entire community, from students, parents and educators to mental health professionals, consultants, and activists. It has shown us time and time again exactly why “Community” is our middle name. When thinking about what’s best for students and the vision they all deserve for their future, we must pull on all our resources, all our unique strengths and skills to create a team of powerful, creative, and transformative adult guides and mentors. Our students are our greatest teachers. Watch as they submit our XQ application!
