National Charter Schools Week - Day 5: Students and Alumni
We’re in the closing stretch of National Charter Schools Week, but that is not slowing us down—let’s keep it going strong. Today we’re highlighting the next generation of Change Makers: students and alumni!
Join us on Instagram and the The Charter Blog as we turn over the reins to the students and alumni, who are our movement’s future. We are excited to hear from Julien Broomfield, a KIPP Newark alum, on her post-graduate life. Also, check out our Insta to see snapshots from Goodwill Excel Center—a charter school in the nation’s capital for adult learners looking to go back to school for their diplomas.
