Being a KIPPster

By choosing KIPP, students make a commitment to excellence with themselves, their parents, teachers, and fellow students. KIPPsters (what we call our students) believe that there are no shortcuts and no excuses. KIPPsters love KIPP because they know that their parents, teachers, school leaders, and classmates are all working together to help them reach their full potential.

At KIPP, we use the motto 'team beats individual.'  Being a KIPPster means being a part of a team and family within your school and also within the overall KIPP network of schools.  KIPPsters have a host of resources available to them to help them reach the top, including dedicated teachers available after hours via cell phone, high school and college placement counselors, alumni support services, extended school days, Saturday school, class field trips, and many extracurriculars.
