to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they
need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. Student
achievement is not just a goal for our organization; it's the
reason we exist, and every member of our team is dedicated to
securing student success. We are also committed to pursuing equity,
actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities
that limit our students' choices. Our culture is built on respect,
service, and the belief that the success of our students, their
families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our

school, opportunities for growth and impact are limitless, and we
are committed to closing the gap in access to CS for students of
color by building a comprehensive K-12 CS pathway. For our grades
3-5 Technology curriculum we aim to equip young learners with
essential digital skills, including digital citizenship, digital
literacy, and foundational computer science concepts, utilizing
curricula like CodeHS for CS, Common Sense Media for digital
citizenship, and TypingClub for keyboarding skills. This rich,
diverse curriculum is further enhanced by our unique approach to
teaching digital literacy through project-based activities,
focusing on skills such as email etiquette, word processing, and
PowerPoint formatting, without relying on a purchased curriculum.

consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education,
and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are
interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about
your background and skill set for the role.
