  • We all came from different walks and all landed here. We know the impact when our teachers and leaders share the backgrounds of our students. But this is about more than that. It’s about beliefs, relationships and trust. It’s about working toward a larger goal with deep understanding, respect and humility. It’s about fighting for social justice and for the kind of world we want our students to live in.

  • We are really nice and we work hard too. Working with good people is so important and we have some of the best. People who hang out on the weekends or “Cha Cha Slide” together at a friend’s wedding, or have you over for breakfast, or go with you to your first cycling class. They will build you up, be there for you every day and tell you when you’re having a bad hair day. Who wouldn’t want to have friends like that at work?
