Students deserve an education that respects their unique contribution to building our society. They are not seeking an education as a means to get out of Detroit; they see their education as a means to make Detroit a wonderful place to live.
"Today, we need to combine learning with work, political struggle, community service, and even play." - Grace Lee Boggs; Mural by Katie Yamasaki
Community Conversations allow our team to understand the ideas and desires of the community while also giving the community a chance to have a voice in our school's design.
