“At KIPP, I know that they truly care about my kid.”

“For anyone that would come to KIPP, they should soon see that it’s like a family environment.”

“I love seeing that there are people of color that are teaching people of color.”

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

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

That process -- of searching, of exploring, of finding the right educational fit -- left an impact that still affects me to this day. I learned how powerful really good parents were.
