I view my college decision as one of the best that I have made, and it is important to acknowledge the impact KIPP had on ensuring I made it to the point in my academic career that I am at now.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Quadir’s senior year didn't turn out the way he expected. But he was able to turn things around with the help of his College Success Counselor.

In my classroom, I feel best when I’m learning with and from my students. Across our school community, we have the best chance at success when we illuminate the thoughts and perspectives of our students.

This work is about ensuring our students are supported academically, and that they can pursue passions that build character, ambition, and perseverance.

Among the many things I appreciate about KIPP, I love that this organization is not only a place for young people to grow into great leaders, but also a place where staff like me can live out our passion every day at work.
