Watch what happened when this all-girl robotics team from KIPP SoCal Public Schools took on their first competition.

My students are my driving force in this work, and I hope for them, I’m a daily reminder of what it looks like to use your voice and create change any way you know how.

Students are able to have greater impact when then feel seen, heard, and valued by all adults in the building and by each other.

"Creo que como padres, nuestro primer deseo es que nuestros hijos sean personas exitosas. que sean mejores que nosotros, que hagan las cosas mejor que nosotros.”

Of course we have high expectations for our students, but we also have high expectations for our adults.

It’s our job to see in our students their potential and help them unlock it. And I think that as a leader it’s my responsibility to also see potential in my staff.

"Sabía que mi hija merecía una escuela que la nutrara y la ayudara a aprender más de lo que estaba aprendiendo."

“The teachers at KIPP were worried about the entire person, not just the student.”

If you love kids and you're passionate about education, you thrive at a place like KIPP.

My mom has instilled in me a deep belief that participation is the key to building community – that we must be there for each other and love each other in order to better not only ourselves, but the world we live in.
